Statistics isn't my strongest area. But I do have a doctorate in quantum information theory, so I have some idea of what it means to be mathematical.

Data science definitely forms part of what I do, as my employer stores a lot of data that we use to estimate various parameters. But there's also work on creating bespoke routines for solving vehicle routing problems in niche domains, which I wouldn't really class as data science.

Thanks for the discussion, anyway. I'm not interested in being insulted.

No one is interested in being insulted. But you only feel insulted because what I said is 100 percent true.

"Bespoke routines for vehicular routing problems" lol. I mean phrases like that reveal what you think of yourself as.

You're writing simulations. That's all. "Bespoke" lol. And those simulations have lower fidelity then a video game like GTA which likely does traffic at higher levels of fidelity and real time with a renderer.

I have a doctorate in mathematics. Prior to that I've done work in cs. Doesn't mean shit. I don't name drop that crap to pretend to be superior.
