No Matter What You Call It, It's all the Same Thing

Summary: A little history lesson about all the different names by which the field of data science has been called, and why, whatever you call it, it's all the same thing. A little reminiscence, or for those of you who are only recently data scientists, a little history lesson. Our profession of finding the signal in the data, be that supervised or unsupervised got underway in the 90s. In the last 20 years we've been called by a variety of names. It's not at all clear that as those names changed that any clarity was added.
