You totally got my point wrong. I said exactly the opposite. I believe
that scientists must spend enough time to become good computer
programmers -- they must neither leave the task to others nor can they
underestimate the amount of difficulty involved in the software.

How it is possible that people managed to read that much and hear
exactly the inverse of my central thesis, I don't understand at
all. Perhaps everyone just hears what they want to.
