By greater, I didn't mean in softer, moral terms, but instead that the sets of problems and cognitive tools for approaching problems for both has some overlap, but one isn't a pure subset of the other. Trying (but failing apparently) to drive home my point that CS wasn't a prerequisite for programming for human civilization, therefore historical examples of programming are ultimately orthogonal to how old of a field CS itself is.

Well, ok, and I misread your post, thank you for clarification. But you've employed a straw man, because no one has claimed anything about historical examples of programming to make claims about how old computer science is. What I did instead (in the GGGGP comment?) was give ancient examples of computer science to show how old it must be, at a minimum. Now, of course, there was no CS department in a university 5000 years ago. Nevertheless, computer science was performed in ancient Sumer, and we know this because we found their abacuses.
