The problem is, they have the foundations to internalize CS as is stood
30 years ago, and they barely know or apply the state of the art of the
70's...

But the quick evolution of CS may well be an explanation. Maybe the very
idea that there is a useful science here didn't have the time to make
its way to the engineering world. Human knowledge do have an incredible
inertia.

Slowly,
Pierre
