I think that's a bit harsh; it's more like "If you know how to issue instructions to a computer, you can derive anything else about the world from first principles."

All I'm really getting is "everything has a lot more exceptions than you think".

I don't think any of them about programmer hubris specifically. A lot of people could fail to realize that "23:59:60" is a valid time, for instance.

Indeed. It's not that they apply only programmers. It's that programmers are the ones who have to deal with this mess.
