I think the danger with opaque terms like &quot;nanotech&quot; and &quot;data science&quot; is they are so ill-defined that they become Rorschach tests. This is very good at attracting buy in--people see what they want to see and the get cover by joining a larger movement and get to ride the trend&#x27;s growth. But then eventually everyone&#x27;s doing &quot;nanotech&quot; or &quot;data science&quot; and people need to use other terms to clarify.<p>Data science is already much more than statistics. That&#x27;s why the term was invented in the first place.<p>Additionally, your definition of science seems pretty lacking. Merely using data to answer questions isn&#x27;t what defines science. Some questions are scientific and some are not.
