I don't mean to come across as overly harsh or partisan against liberal arts majors. I think the content is often interesting. I just think it should be taken along side a technical major too.

I do have a bias against overly flowery language that obscures meaning, and tend to find that more often comes from the less technical side of the academic spectrum: http://www.paulgraham.com/talk.html

I assume you haven't read many academic papers in CS? ;-)

That's a bit of a joke. Clarity is of course a primary virtue in all forms of academic writing, and one that is often ignored either unintentionally or in an attempt to impress one's reviewers and/or to signal one's membership in a particular tribe.
