So whats the alternative? "Just trust me"?

  The alternative is to trust in most circumstances (you did hire me after all), and do thorough analysis once in a while as a gut check.

    And how do you do that thorough analysis without asking to see the data?

      The person above wasn’t complaining about data science as a whole, they were complaining about data science theater. The scenario where as long as you put some numbers in your bosses face, they could care less what the real implications are. In cases where you’re doing thorough analysis, you should look for the data yourself, rather than ask someone to market it to you
