Nope, I'm not saying computer science isn't a science, but rather that
computer science is what programmers *use*, not what they *do*. This is a
good and progressive thing (as long as there are still some people left
*doing* computer science as well) and an effect of a body of knowledge be
developed by the scientists for use by the craftsmen. With IA this has yet
to happen to anywhere near the same degree.
