I think this passage actually addresses the context of that question:

>The difference between empathy and compassion is big. Empathy is understanding the pain. Compassion is about taking away the pain away from others, it’s about solving the problem. That small subtle shift is the difference between a data scientist that can tell you what the graph is doing versus telling you what action you need to do from the insight. That’s a force multiplier by definition.

I think the context you've quoted only further proves my point. This sentence means absolutely nothing to me, it's trivial and devoid of any actionable information. But because the interviewee is a "famous data scientist" it is suddenly important info that needs to be shared with the world?
