Dijkstra preferred "computing science", didn't he?

Now, calling it "science" at all is problematic if you don't consider mathematics to be a science.

Do mathematicians perform experiments?

Do people who research computation?

Are you discussing the questions of whether computer science is mathematics? Dijkstra considered it to be, and was not a fan of "experimental computer science".
