Some say [0] it's title deflation for statisticians.

"Statisticians" taught everyone NHST, and relegated bayesian probability to the appendix for decades. Once you realize what has happened there, you will view that title with very little respect.

I am glad to see machine learning, ai, "data science", whatever, grow as a separate field. The statistics programs had their chance.
