Did you really not notice that your reply is to a strawman you made up? The person you are replying to did not say anything about CS vs programming. He stated that most people who claim to be programmers can't do basic programming, and most CS grads can't do basic computer science. Incompetence is widespread on both sides. There was no claim that one side is more important than the other, yet your reply is almost entirely "you are elitist for thinking computer science matters".

Every programmer should be able to fizzbuzz. 95% can't. This is a problem. Every CS grad should be able to build a tree. 95% can't. These are serious problems.
