In my experience, you can take a general accounting class that is made up of half tech-related (engineering/science/etc) students and half business students. Guess which half will make the better grades? I've taken about six business classes so far. This has been proven time and time again. Again, this is a single case and I won't claim it to be true for all instances.
However, I agree, it's not fear. And, as a CS student, the one thing I learned early on is that I can never stop learning. Business types whine about us making them out to be the cliche evilness that rots our souls. That seems to be working two ways.
As a state employee, I fear this. Just think, all those lovely, wonderful, nice people at the Department of Motor Vehicles all using open source software. On a federal level.. My head is already spinning.
