In fairness to David, what is the evidence that the OP really *is* a
computer science student?  Something tells me not to believe a word
coming from the "evidence" Daniel uses.  The idea of an MBA student
showing how diverse his skills are by getting enough credits to pass a
computer science qualification is not that far-fetched.  Being able to
wing an MBA-type job with such a qualification would be somewhat
easier than winging a computer science job.

On balance, I'd say the evidence for David's postulate is at least as
good as it is for the null.
