Agreed. I was just being an arrogant mathematician.

As for which is harder, well its hard to compare, but in my college at least, the drop out rates for CS are much higher, but that doesn't really mean anything.

Dropout rates have to do with the student quality too.
If you want me to make my point precise: Mathematics is more about abstraction, which a lot of people find difficult when taken to arid degrees.
Computer science probably is more about complex simple systems, but I really don't know much about that.
