You weren't kidding, more detail here -

[quote]To be clear, the department will no doubt employ many thoughtful scientists devoted to the pursuit of truth—it already does. But the problem with the department is not its personnel but its purpose. By focusing on application rather than knowledge, the “integrated sciences” end up segregating themselves from other academic disciplines.

This article is a complete waste of time. To synthesize, the author is upset the program isn't virtuous enough and actually gives students the tools and computational skills to do science, rather than being a sterile, traditional program where students are behind their peers at other institutions where the ability to code well and develop skills beyond theoretical work is a given. It's surprisingly poor argumentation for such a well-written article.[/quote]
Mind you, neither student is a science student:

Well to be fair serious science students aren't attracted to CMC, they go to Pomona or Harvey Mudd in the 5Cs.[/quote]
