For the most part, I agree with this statement.  But I would want to
broaden the association of CS beyond simply "software" to include the
abstractions of hardware functionality and the (abstract) mathematical
foundations of CS.  Programming is a legitimate subset of CS just as
there are subsets of other fields.  "Software Engineering" is a larger
subset, but is still not all of CS.   CS in the broadest sense is
concerned with "abstract processes".  But then maybe that is too much.
