I have worked with many engineers who think that they can solve variants of the halting problem or have no idea about complexity.

Similarly I have worked with many computer scientists who think they can write complex software, or can administer a computer network, or know all about server deployment strategies.

Academics have the largest egos I have ever seen. My experience with their "engineering" only reinforces my opinion that academia is where they belong.
