>Data Scientist is a buzz word for Statistician
It's really not. The skill set we need in terms of some software, system design, and a rich knowledge of modern data science libraries and trends is not something you should expect a statistician to have.
Similarly, I certainly cannot prove asymptotic theorems like a statistician.

I've found studying PhD stats textbooks more valuable for my data science career than learning the latest deep net framework. I'm just noting there is a need for other tools.
