At the very least, it shows an appreciation for The Two Cultures. It's not possible to reconcile certain generalizations about science and art- that is, one can write about science, but it's not easy to make accurate claims without being an expert, and vice versa- one can try to write a poetry from the perspective of a doctor, but it might sound like bad poetry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKpYBStDLVA

Of course there are some really talented writers and scientists.
