Abstract:Leo Breiman's "Statistical Modeling: The Two Cultures" is a treasure for any statistician who engages with real world problem. I argue that there is a more fundamental dichotomy between the principles of statistical modeling and the techniques for statistical modeling. Focusing entirely on the techniques in statistical education and research can be dangerous. I join Breiman's call for statistics to return to its roots.
