Would the same sentiment about principles and precepts of science hold if you had veered off into anthropology (whether physical, cultural, linguistic or paleontological) rather than computer science/engineering?
A close member of my family is a programmer, so I'm familiar with the 'defense of science' mentality in this area.
Lest we not forget, what is not fundamental to you may indeed be fundamental to someone else.

My own take, FWIW, is that most engineering is a branch of science. I began as a physicist and veered off course into "computer science"
after a few years. For me, the transition was largely seamless.
Principles and precepts of the former were applicable to the latter.
