Maybe, maybe not.  What is it you consider "a real EE" ?  Just how =20
many "Real EE" classes have you taken as a bio/medicine major?  2 =20
years of calc, 2 years of physics, using those actual differential =20
equations to solve capacitor problems with non-constant dielectric =20
constants and the frequency response of transistor amplifiers due to =20
miller capacitance?  An EE lab class where they make you use an =20
oscilloscope and a frequency generator?   Done the numerical analysis =20
class so you know how errors seep into your pristine calculations?  =20
There are things I'd trust to a technician over a PhD, and the other =20
way around.  Likewise "real EEs" or "real CS" vs someone whose primary =20
knowledge was the the application...

Before you sneer too much at the people who know less than you do in =20
some corner of your chosen block of "stuff to know", you might want to =20
consider how many people could be sneering at you for the same =20
reasons, and how they're wrong.
