50 Years of Data Science: Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics: Vol 26, No 4: This paper is a great find. Not the least because the argument (statistics versus data science) was already in full swing 50 years ago. I have no problem with predictive modelling, but it is a different task. And it does seem that the emphasis on ML has obscured the value (in a pendulum swing from the days of Tukey) on importance of understanding the generative model.
