There is a difference between reporting a stat and understanding the stat. Another thing that many ppl (including ppl who work in this field) fail to understand is the theoretical (or statistical) underpinnings of the algorithms they are trying to deploy. Many assume IID or NID to make the problem tractable, but that's not how the world typically works even on the very very large data scale. More things on why many data science teams/groups/fail because too many ppl treat it as a BI/BA organization...I really should step away from the keyboard now. LOL.
