Phooey. This comes off as unnecessary gate-keeping. How does anyone do science, ever? They use tools for measurement, tools for analysis, tools for record keeping...all of these functions can be captured within a GUI. Doing science doesn't ever require you to be doing something "new" or innovative... in fact, most of the time you are applying age-old techniques. The only thing new is the problem, and that's not dependent on what types of tools you are using to solve it.
- projectramo 8y agoI think you misunderstood me. You can, of course, do science with graphical tools. For instance, excel is a "graphical tool", and a lot of scientists use it. But you can't do science on the field the tool is solving. So you can use excel for biology, but data science is trying to trying to experiment on the data technique itself.
