I'd love to see a similar approach to CS-related topics. We don't know how to solve many security problems (key delivery, etc). We don't know what exactly makes a good user interface (many psychological/natural/social factors that we aren't aware). And we're yet to know how to write a correct program, let alone what "correctness" is. We don't even know what's a good way approach the problem, or even discuss it.

It took me nearly two decades working in IT before I was in a position where I was respected, secure and comfortable enough to be able to say "I don't know" in front of the business client.

If I had said that even after five years on the job I would have been hauled into a meeting room by my manager and dressed-down for giving a 'poor image of the Technology department'.

Unfortunately that's also one of the reasons we have so much buggy code; people are afraid to express their lack of knowledge of a particular subject, so they kludge on through with some code pasted from a Google search.

Actually these topics are actively discussed at CS programs in higher education - MSc and higher. At least in the department I'm working at, the specific topics you name are very active conversation topics among students and faculty alike.
