Picking up on some dunning kruger effect here.

Programming isn’t even a field in the same way as prob&stats. Computer science does in fact have non-deterministic sub fields such as information theory.

There’ll always be boundary tending, true. Only a portion of CS deals with stochastic functions though, whereas all of statistics is stochastic. That makes a big difference, bc the world is complex.

Information theory doesn’t even incorporate utility.
