Based on reading this thread, CS education should have a few required lectures on "ways in which the real world isn't run like a computer". (Non-CS people have the opposite problem, and don't understand that a small bubble called computing operates the way it does.)

I agree. CS people are hyper-fixated on rules and processes, to the point where they forget humans exist.

The rules being bendy is a very good thing, because then we can leverage the power of these meat sacks between our ears to come to a conclusion. Not everything needs to be an algorithm, thank God.

Getting a law degree helps! (speaking from experience...)
