Why Teach a Language Properly?

``..In 2002 statistics, out of 150 million people roughly 20 computer scientists were able to get tenure-track positions at some moderately good US university while there were only 5 mathematicians with Phd’s producing research oriented papers...``

Do you really believe in these stat. figures? If the scientidic background is so bad, how come Pakistan could produce some finest weapons of war? like Nukes, aircreaft designs and latest cruise missiles in such a short time?. These products after all need an array of hundreds of scientists , engineers, techniciams, metallurgists, ,mathematicians and technicial staff of the highest calibre?

Don`t worry. You are too pessimistic and towing the line of doom sayers!
