Perhaps related observation, though npt directly addressing the OP topic: STEM programs, as well as medicine - and from personal experience I would argue especially medicine (vs. STEM proper) - rely on curricula that tend to humans who are better than most at mimicking computers. Rote memorization (relatively necessary for ideogram-centric wriring systems) is rewarded, excursive analysis is not.
