I had the odd, but unique, experience of taking "Computer Engineering" and "Formal Logic" (a neurology/history-of-thought course) during the same semester. One observation from that experience is that there is a great deal of cognitive overlap in our representation and communication of those fields of study. Typically, I would see that overlap as being indicative of broad similarity.

Reading this and the comments makes me question the similarity of the fields somewhat. Perhaps it is just our tools for comprehension that are shared between the two rather than any deeply tactical, functional commonality.

To that end, I think that experts in these fields could communicate very effectively with each other once some vocabulary had been sorted out. How effective one expert would be in the other's field is less clear to me.
