Subject: Re: OT:is software eng an art?


I've always thought that the whole art/science split is rather arbitrary.  It 
suggests that science has no room for inspiration, and art has no room for 
discipline.  Art and science seem to blur together in many places (examples: 
fractals, rules of proportion/perspective).

As a rule, I don't trust people who believe that there is such a thing as 
"pure science/engineering" or "pure art".

Just my thoughts,
Brian
