Form and Content in Computer Science
To build a theory, one needs to know a lot about the basic
phenomena of the subject matter. We simply do not know
enough about these, in the theory of computation, to teach
the subject very abstractly. Instead, we ought to, teach more
about the particular examples we now understand thoroughly,
and hope that from this we will be able to guess and prove
more general principies.
