Computer Science can be taught without a student ever having used a computer; it's a branch of mathematics. Would you expect a mathematician to know what a .tar file is?
Reminds me of a quote from one of the most famous Computer Scientists, who was really a mathematician:
"Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."
- E. W. Dijkstra (1930 - 2002)
