I've seen folks in excel say "I'm not a programmer, so I did this in excel." and ... I was pretty damn impressed. Some of them had some of the logical thinking basics down to be pretty good at programming, if they gave it a try I suspect some might be damn good.

No one's ever told them that they ARE programming. Just in Excel.
