> So CS is definitely very relevant for software engineering - but you need a broad understanding instead of a deep one.
Absolutely. A general understanding of CS is necessary to be a competent software engineer. Just like a general understanding of physics is necessary to be a civil/mechanical engineer.
If there is a VENN diagram, there is definitely an overlap of "theory" and "engineering". But theory != engineering.
