I spent five years working in a university CS department (followed by 30 
in the real world), and it's quite possible to get a PhD in CS without 
even being able to program a real world computer, never mind make 
competent remarks about anything as complex as an OS. Some of CS is 
basically mathematics using abstract computational models like Turing or 
register machines, no hardware needed.
