This is a fabulous article in general, and I love the Bret Victor quote as well.
And while I love the analogy -- and I think is applicable to what we're calling data science -- thoughts, speaking broadly, are fundamentally different than sounds and smells and wavelengths of light. The essence of thought is that we think it (it is thunk?). All of those other examples are subjective representations of physical phenomenon, while constitutes a thought, again broadly speaking, is less well agreed upon (understood?).
Still a terrific article, my pedantic nitpicking aside.
