The irony of demonstrating a lack of critical thinking ability by claiming to be the great teachers of it has always been extremely amusing to me.

Don’t correct them, it’s honestly better this way.

Both the beauty and horror of non-stem courses is that they require a degree of abstract reasoning on par with computer science.

What one does with that reasoning is up to them (and it is often twisted in laughable ways, see the portion of an abstract I posted up-thread). Often times the brightest thinkers have been from 'soft' sciences like history or sociology. I think it is because of the abstraction required to reasonable think about these subjects.
