Carpal tunnel symptoms can be reduced by properly stretching/exercising the wrists. In Aikido, we do a lot of wrist locks, so before each class, we stretch them out. I think the exercises are the reason I'm the only techie I know without CTS. Just like an athlete stretches before they work, so should coders. I find myself unconsciously stretching my wrists all the time now.
As for Bosh's opinion, this is what every parent should be pushing for. When I started getting into acting, they didn't stop me or dissuade me, they simply asked that I have 'something to fall back on'. In my senior seminar for my BA, our acting professor made sure to hammer it in, because a lot of actors chose to only go for acting, which makes the stereotype of actor/barista.
Bosh's statement really talks about science instead of technology. Physics, Biology, Math, CS - all of these are 'how the world works'. Replace 'computer' with 'tools of your scientific interest' and you get the idea.
