Wow, what a MASSIVE missed opportunity to quote the best variation of this idea by far, done by Hal Abelson in the legendary "6001-Introduction to Computer Science" class on MIT in the 80s.

You can check it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Op3QLzMgSY

Abelson in the first minute crosses both computer AND science, and references the also legendary SICP with "computer so-called science actually has a lot in common with magic".

Honestly, this alone already made the article that empty.
