CS isnโ€™t scientific by definition. Nothing empirical about it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row_hammer
>Rowhammer (also written as row hammer or RowHammer) is a computer security exploit that takes advantage of an unintended and undesirable side effect in dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) in which memory cells interact electrically between themselves by leaking their charges, possibly changing the contents of nearby memory rows that were not addressed in the original memory access.

Not science. Just engineering bugs.
