I dunno. While I am fully aware that there is no such thing as human endeavor without adjoining bullshittery, I'm not sure CS stacks up quite the same as molecular biology or, say, high-energy physics for having fairly concrete and irrefutable ground to cover. Its pretty clear cut what is there and what is up for interpretation, wheras in CS the whole field is inherantly abstracted to the point that a great deal is up for interpretation. Theoretical physics shares that level of abstraction, what with stuff like superstring theory and such, so it's all relative I guess.
