> Many "data scientists" (not all, but many) have little to no ability to do anything other than apply "recipes" of algorithms or classification methods or logistic regressions, etc. This is because they rarely hire people with scientific thinking ability. They just hire people who can code and program from set recipes. Once you hire such people you can not expect them to do non-recipe work. If you don't want recipe work, don't hire people will recipe skills. Do not have job interviews that select for recipe people. But, that is exactly what most companies do.
