Data driven science? Why not, *purists*? Come down from your pedestal!

Computer Vision and Machine Learning *reinforce* themselves in order to get aims that are impacting daily lives of almost any human being on Earth. Denying that is simply straying from the truth.

Models applied in Computer Vision work many times based on data and are *built from* data.

That is NOT inherently wrong!

Many times there is NO other way to do it!

Waiting for a *non data-driven* model to be obtained could take centuries, in some cases!

This is (below) what Computer Vision and Machine Learning have got so far. Congratulations to those who achieved this and also to those people who genuinely appreciate it!

It is a little bit old (2017, :-)) but worth seeing it.
