Well, you removed much of the context. All I'm saying is it is 
silly to argue that the lack of this-that-or-the-other in computer
science curricula is somehow damaging an industry that is by-and-large
NOT populated by CS graduates, or that lack of instruction in language X
will somehow make a CS grad unemployable, when that grad is competing
against EE and Math grads.
