I have two problems with slashdot and this is one of them (the other is the moderation system buries good comments if the article isn't new):
I have learned a lot of stuff from slashdot technical discussions; but I was a humanities (a foreign language and literature) major college, not science and I am in law school now. The groupthink here about the humanities and legal concepts is not just poor, it's often flat out wrong. Of course, if you know how to write a Hello World program in Perl, C, and Python, then you know that assault and battery are the same think, Shakespeare was really Francis Bacon, and Citizen Kane was just some flick.
