So you confirm the set of axioms then, since you admit that you don't have an understanding of CS. I would really encourage you to pick up a different language -- not because skills are conferred upon you by choice of language but because better languages have better communities surrounding them, from which you can learn better habits.
I wasn't saying that merely knowing what folding is means you have CS knowledge. I was saying that such knowledge is characteristic of knowledgeable programmers.
Would it be fair to say that you don't have a high level of understanding of other programming languages? PHP makes sense if it's all you know about programming. PHP tries hard, but it can't quite take away all of the joy of making a machine do your bidding, so it's understandable that people who know no other alternative like it.
But learn an alternative, and you're going to like programming even more.

1. I'm willing to write and, actually, like PHP.
2. I don't have a CS degree, I'm a glorified designer eager to learn.
3. Now I know what right and left folding are.
