When you're not "allowed" to question constructs, you're no longer being invited to actually help understand the world. You're just being told what you're allowed to ask about and think about. You're trapped downstream of the most interesting questions.

As I promised, here's my new Harvard Data Science Review commentary (on Leonelli's 'Environmental Intelligence').
