Hiya Gonz,

I think you may have a very valid point here.

I was talking with a friend of recently, who happens to be a Professor of Computer Science at Kennesaw State University here in Georgia, where I studied back in the late 80s. He told me that since that time, at Kennesaw at least, there has been a de-emphasis on what we would refer to as the "principles" in favvor of additional emphasis on information processing. This coincides very nicely with your observation.
