No. Computer science, as a discipline generally sits between one of two polls.  Implementation - e.g. knowing how to write code and Algorithms - e.g. knowing how a particular approach scales in memory and time with input size.  This has absolutely nothing to do with "gathering meaningful data" you utterly. ignorant. moron.

Oh my name calling already?,  I have been programming and interfacing,building control systems for computers since the first personal computers were invented. Now let's ask an intelligent question, how do you think they get all the data and filter out data not relevant. Well... they use what's called data mining algorithms to sift through millions of files on the databases for relevant data. As such it seems obvious a computer scientist would know how to find the most relevant meaningful data in the most efficient way versus let's say a biologist who knows very little about computers or data mining.


Uhm which part of this do you not understand because it seems pretty straightforward?.

Wrong.  I am qualified to review papers that use statistical methods.  So go ahead and post some of this research, actual papers and we will see what we will see....idiot.

You may be but unfortunately we cannot believe a word you say until we see your credentials, lol. As you have implied, until we have proof we will have to assume your just another crack-pot just like the people you have criticized.
Your funny .

Computer programs are available that assist in myriad of fields and tasks.  That fact says nothing about the skills of anyone involved in the science or engineering of computer.  The specific mathematic skills that would be relevant to evaluating study reports are skills in probability and statistics.

Or maybe just a crack head on pot ?

Gotta love those straight lines.

Now who do you suppose wrote those programs?, Do you guys even know how computers actually work?. Unfortunately it's not like going down to the store to buy a loaf of bread and the software always needs refinement to perform specific tasks in the most efficient manner, now who do you suppose would do this... a biologist?. I'm thinking no.

I know very well that expertise in computer scinece does not equate to expertise in design or use of software for any specific application.  I know full well that many programmers work on software where they have little or no understanding of the theory that underlays the end application.  Even if someone were smart enough to understand all of Knuth's books backwards and forwards, that would not give them any particular expertise in any computer application.  It would equip them to define efficient computer based algorithms to approach a defined task.
