Statistics is Dead – Long Live Data Science…

I keep hearing Data Scientists say that'Statistics is Dead', and they even have big debates about it attended by the good and great of Data Science. Interestingly, there seem to be very few actual statisticians at these debates. So why do Data Scientists think that stats is dead? Where does the notion that there is no longer any need for statistical analysis come from? I guess that really we should start at the beginning by asking the question'What Is Statistics?'.
