Computer "science" is different

[Ludwik Kowalski <kowalskil@MAIL.MONTCLAIR.EDU>]

If I was experimenting with a natural
phenomenon I would hypothesize that
"the word S--M is appended to a subject
line if that line contains a phrase 'have
fun.' " But the world of computers is man
made and what is true today might no
longer be true next month or next year.
It seems to me computer science is not
part of natural science (as electrical
engineering is). It is more like social
science and legal system.
