>Being purely data-driven without good intuition and long-term bets (that can't be "proven" with data), and the product loses its soul.

This sounds like post-hoc, anti-intellectual rationalization.

How do you place long-term bets without a model to measure expectations versus outcomes? How do you know what good intuition is? There is a ton of research on "gut" calls that demonstrates it's random.

>But data is not a substitute for good judgment

Good judgement requires data.
