I don't disagree that co!outer science is a more powerful perspective to learn, do a fun substitution exercise and replace computer science with building a car. We can lament that people just don't appreciate the beauty of the design process or that people who design cars really "get" cars better than everyone else and that the people who manufacture the cars really hold the power, but at the end of the day some people just need to know how to drive them. In my analogy, there are way too many people taking the "public transportation" route; teach em to drive.
