    Okay but even if someone has a degree in computer science, that doesn’t make the software engineering work they do count as being a scientist. I agree there is some overlap, for example if a startup is trying to push some new boundary of computer science itself and is simply selling a product as a way to further that research goal.

      Sure, the question isn’t really clear in that sense. It just asks if there are people with both traits, which there are.
