Which is why Computer Scientists code, because code is basically an expression of that thought. This is where the confusion comes from:
It's not confusion, it's my point. In physics, there's an obvious separation between theory and practice. In Comp Sci, the only thing computers exist for is to run programs, so I have a really hard time understanding how someone can say "Well I'm just studying the SCIENCE of Computers, but I'm not learning how to program." As if studying Computer Science is an elite intellectual enterprise fit for mahogany paneled rooms in the Halls of Academia, while mere trade school graduates are grease monkeys who are not fit to participate in Computer Science.
