I think you can frame it as specialization without making it sound elitist. It's just more efficient if everyone can spend time on what they're uniquely good at

I think you can frame it as specialization without making it sound elitist. It's just more efficient if everyone can spend time on what they're uniquely good at. The "grunt work" can be just as complex as the data science, just in a completely different way.

Some of it, yes. Some of it truly is just rote work that should be automated or owned by junior non-specialists. The same comparative advantage argument could apply to highly skilled DBAs or quants or frontend specialists, just depending on your company’s needs. If people interpret it as “elitist” to refer to basic comparative advantage economics, they need to get over it and stop being so sensitive.
