We don't need to teach everyone how to code We need to at least make sure everyone understand that there is such a thing as rigor and that it is important.

I doubt rather severely that coding helps with that at all.

Once upon a time, if you trained in computers, you met The Jeremiah who told you "woe betide you who enter here." That was a good thing; you were prepared for the onslaught of unreason surrounding this discipline.

It's kind of like all the recruiters in the movie "Starship Troopers" being maimed.

Then that seems to have stopped.
