A polemic in which the philosopher author presumes to tell computer scientists what topics they ``would be better off focusing'' on. According to Cleland, computer scientists are woefully off-base about their own subject because ``Turing machines do not provide us with genuine procedures''. The paper contains various other startling claims, such as that without real/complex analysis, abstract algebra would disappear.
