BRAVO!!! to Dick Dunn for his recent article explaining his
"Teach them to think like programmers, not like computer
scientists" statement.  We have also seen too many computer
scientists of the type he describes and are "fitfully grumpy
about all the poorly written theoretical nitpicking ...."

The general disdain in which computer science is held by many
professional programmers is partially (or perhaps, totally)
attributable to the bulk of so-called computer science research,
which is really nothing more than "theoretical grandeur."
