Because, spoiler, data doesn't really drive decisions. It has no opinions. What matters are the decisions we make about:
* Which data is important
* Which data we pay attention to
* Which elements we measure and compare
* Which comparisons we *want* to make

These are all normal, human decisions (nd, again, that's fine) the layering on of data is just a sales tactic.

If the data isn’t making you uncomfortable, you’re probably misusing it.

Some very good defense against the dark arts stuff here:

When I gathered the courage to tell my mother that I was her daughter, not her son, she simply said:
"I have suspected so, ever since you were born."
"Why?"
"I was cursed when expecting you. A demon would take my firstborn son."
"And?"
"It came, looked at you and said 'Nah'."
