As usual, Andy, you missed the point.  Any science with the word science in
its name is still out trying to prove itself to the world, and hasnt been
accepted by the general public as a science.  Whether we are scientific or
not isnt the issue.  We stopped calling Physics "the physical sciences" when
enough of the world knew what we were talking about that we could stop with
the long form.  Ask your self this...if we started calling it Computing rather
than Computer Science, would the general public be able to categorize it as a
science?
