You have now, or are seeking to, define "programming" in a
fashion different from that with which we here are familiar.
It appears that you wish us to consider logic/inductive
reasoning/etc as the same as "programming".  This focusses
"programming" not as a discipline, so much as a group of
intellectual skills to be acquired in the exercise of a
"programming course".  You THEN "say" that this (course in
programming) is the most straightforward means of conveying 
those skills, and imply that this is a non-lecture approach. 
Am I currently stating this correctly?
