yes and I'd like to sue whoever named that field for false advertising. when I went to school (Precambrian era - no internet) I thought computer science would be great because I wanted to learn how to program. I dropped it after the 2nd year when I realized it was more about calculus than programming. (and I sucked at calculus. well, the teachers who were supposed to teach me about calculus sucked, but the end result was the same.)

It is a misnomer because it's not really about computers, nor is it science (although machine learning has always been much more scientific IMO). But it is about programming. It's just from first principles. It's like learning to build furniture: you first have to learn about wood. Sure, most people will just put something together from IKEA, and that might be satisfying. But they don't really know how to build furniture.
