I think this is a case of everyone being generally right, but saying the same thing in different ways.
Having been a dev for ~17 years, I agree that most tasks I perform each day can't be expressed in pure mathematics as easily as the kangaroo problem above.
Also having been a dev for ~17 years, I agree with you that for some problems, a mathematical solution is superior to an algorithmic one.
You seem to see clearly the relative importance of mathematics in software development. That is far more important than who's right or wrong in this case. :D
Cheers!
