Here's another factual error: Data science is from the 1960s, and was used first in a paper published by Peter Naur in 1974: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_science

Data science is actually statistics, which goes quite a bit further than the 1960s. In fact, today's data scientists love to quote Box and Fischer.

Data science and data mining are victories of marketing over common sense.
