This is interesting.  Would I be stepping into another endless and 
static debate if I wondered why the noun here changed from "programmers"
(with a lower case 'p') to "Software Engineers" with uppercase letters?

In my experience, the terms programmer and software engineer conjure up
two entirely different worlds of practice.  I can't imagine training 
a programmer to be a software engineer (much less a Software Engineer)
in anything like the amount of time spent of STANFINS-R.

I think this is a shameful attempt to further one's argument by using
subtly loaded language distinct from the issue directly at hand.
