Good insights. Before the term was bastardized, then consumed, by Machine Learning, the experimentation component was considered the killer delivery by data scientists (putting the _science_ in the term). Now, most folks assume MLE := DS, rather than MLE ⊂ DS

OT: there's actually a ≔ symbol, so you could write MLE ≔ DS if you wanted to.
