One divide in computer science can be between the uncertainty-reducers and the uncertainty-embracers. An instance of this is connectionist vs. symbolist approaches to AI (the uncertainty embracers won .. for now). Another is how computer scientists react to natural language. Some find the human ability to communicate without expressing everything in a stable, fully populated structure quite disgusting (Randall Monroe included I guess, see graphic) - others find it fascinating. Why would text have to conform to a lower-order computationally-expressable grammar? Text isn't even anywhere near all of language!
