I'm tired of these software 'engineering' types who insist that computers are run by using 'maths' and 'numbers' (whatever those are).
Clearly, computers are run by aphasic tonally-separated spinning disks. These disks fire puffs of air out the sides of the computer, creating little tiny tornados, which summon air spirits to call the fire spirits, which causes the screen to light up and the keys to make tappy-tap noises.
anyway.
to be clear:
not statistics.
not math.
not regulated pulses of electrons.
MAGIC!
In my experience, the people who are most informed about how a computer actually works are those most convinced that it runs on magic. All my compE friends insist that cpus are maintained and operated by tiny gnomes.
While less technical people don't understand, they have 'faith' that there's a logical, scientific explanation for how computer's work.
A good hack is indistinguishable from magic. (Yes I know that the original quote is "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic")
