“In a 1962 manifesto, the Princeton-Bell Labs mathematician John Tukey called for a new approach he dubbed “data analysis” that would be more dedicated to discovery than to confirmation through mathematical proof. As a scientific practice, Tukey argued, data analysis is an art, a form of judgment, not a logically closed discipline, and he encouraged the creation of new tools, from graph paper to computer graphics, to enable discovery.”
