There's one slight flaw in Alan's argument. What I said was:
> Both of these cases also illustrate that substantial

This knowledge is NOT general engineering knowledge, project
management knowledge, software design knowledge, or industrial
management knowledge.
It is also not programming language design knowledge nor is it
programming language usability knowledge.
If there are 500 schools doing research on engineering knowledge etc.
and 1 school is doing research on just usability of programming languages,
then who is is left to do research on the rest of psychology of programming,
the part that is independent of specific programming languages?
No one, I suspect.
