Not trying to dissuade you from your opinion, as I agree one can dislike Taleb's book for that reason, but part of the point Taleb tries to make in his books is that often data is used as a crutch to prop up arguments which don't make sense on their own, and that we often need to be able to fall back to more fundamental methods of reasoning before even trying to bring in data. Or, more simply: More data does not always equal better conclusions.
