I think the computer science greats should have consulted you before 
writing their textbooks - I just looked at this crazy thing called a
"turing machine" in one of my textbooks.   

A universal turing machine supposedly has an infinite tape attached to
it.   Maybe they are smart about  computers, but they don't know
anything
about physics.   I think all these textbooks need to be thrown out
because they are obviously of no practical value.
