This mirrors what I see - domain experts using models to validate hypotheses trump p-value fishers without that domain knowledge every time. The only risk the former take is getting trapped in a local minima but that trap can largely be avoided simply by knowing its there.

That's obviously true but I'm not sure why it's relevant to use the worst part of a group ("p-value fishers") in that comparison. The more interesting question is whether skills in statistics, applied math and computer science carry over across different domains - and I think the answer is that they clearly do.
