    What kind of argumentation is this? Are we talking about mechanical engineering or computer science? Please don’t bent reality the way it fits your shape.

        I know what mechanical computers are. But computer scientists will not be building them 'nor program them, it’s not what computer science is about when you go to a university to study it.

          I presented a hypothetical, and showed how it could work. You’re the one insisting that there’s only one way to do things. You’re being Western Centric.

          I’m well aware of what you study when you study computer science, I majored in that and Music Ed at Transylvania University.

          computer science teaches you the theories of computation which absolute starts with mechanical computers.

          if one didn’t study Turing’s tape machine in their compsci program then they should demand their money back.
