Perhaps you should name these "many ways". Taken at face value, your 
statement pretty much claims that computer science hasn't progressed in 40 
some years. I can at least agree with that statement. Of course the 
"science" in "computer science" is pure bovine excrement. If you can't or 
wont measure it, it isn't science. "Computer religion" or "computer cults" 
would better capture the reality.
