“Llegará un día en que el razonamiento estadístico será tan necesario para el ciudadano como ahora lo es la habilidad de leer y escribir”

H.G.Wells (1866–1946)

“Oil is valuable, but if unrefined it cannot really be used. It has to be changed into gas, plastic, chemicals etc to create a valuable entity that drives profitable activity; so too must data be broken down, analyzed for it to have value.” Clive Humby (2006)

Domain specific knowledge is crucial in #dataScience, this is my new favourite picture to illustrate why!
