I'm not sure of what I originally intended, because I didn't really think in those terms while writing the post, but afterwards I'd say that the most reasonable way to use the post to argue would be "these are the kinds of problems you'll encounter in your life, if you take a CS101 class you'll learn to deal with some of them and it'll be at least somewhat useful, and if you want to you can take more classes and learn how to deal with even more problems of this kind".
