Aargh. How does one achieve any degree at all in Computer Science, let

That's easy: in theory he knows that stuff very very well.

OTOH, those of us who not only remember indexes and fancy search
algorithms from CS our course, but also write computer programs,
know that for datasets < x in size they actually slow down the code
and add development time.
