But then eventually everyone's doing "nanotech" or "data science" and people need to use other terms to clarify. Data science is already much more than statistics. That's why the term was invented in the first place. Additionally, your definition of science seems pretty lacking. Merely using data to answer questions isn't what defines science. Some questions are scientific and some are not.
