Which Hamming quote, btw, do you refer to? I think he mostly talks about talking with other "smart" people, and communicating what you are working on a lot (like giving talks, etc.). But, this doesn't read like much of a case for the humanities, per se.

I don't remember the exact quote verbatim but the most likely candidates of where I got it from would be: You and Your Research, How Do We Know What We Know? (if indeed, we know it), and/or Artificial Intelligence I and II.

You can find these easily on YouTube, there's a channel securitylectures which hosts them, and there are also official resources from the US Naval Postgraduate Academy in Monterey.
