This articulated so much I have learned about the field in the past 5 years. As someone who inherited the title 'data scientist' because that's how my department designated us when it became fashionable, felt fraudulent due to the unlimited expectations of what data science is vs. what I understood it to be, and subsequently has interviewed probably nearly a hundred data science and machine learning 'experts', there seems to be little cohesion to what these terms describe, little understanding by laypersons about data science besides that it is some kind of magic that only the very gifted can command, and no greater distance between hubris and praxis that I have seen sustain itself for so long and so intensely.

The whole interview was an absolute joy to read.
