To be fair their special skill can be actively dangerous. In the same way that my devops skills can also be dangerous. Disclaimer: I've periodically been doing data science since before it was called that.

Sometimes some so-called data scientists appear xaman interpreting numerical bones and plotted fire shapes generated from compuational peyote, and people interpret those conclusions as answers to their problems.
