A better analogy would be requiring all new computer programmers to
learn assembler, which as far as I know they still do.

This has never been a requirement for computer programmers, with the
exception
of those who were actually training to write programs in assembly
language.

Bull****. It was a requirement in my comp sci department for a B.S.
degree. And numerous other universities required it as well. That was in
the past, obviously. But any decent comp sci program still requires, at
the very least, a machine architecture course which introduces students to
some machine's instruction set, the assembler language for it, and
hopefully ties those constructs to a higher level language like C.

MX read an article about it one time, he didn't need to go to any classes,
he already knows more than you!
