Data science
While I agree with your overall addition that data science probably is "nothing new and has been practiced in the last three decades under a variety of names", that mostly applies to the business buzzword case. Different people understand slightly different things under "data science".

What I am more concerned with is referencing. The reference you use is a fairly obscure book from 2014. Despite its age, it has only a single review on Amazon, I could not find any citations in scientific literature or mentions in news. I also could not find any references that would make the author an expert on data science either. So I do not think this is suitable to reference the statements in the head.

Furthermore, the Manual of Style, Manual of Style/Embedded lists suggests that we shouldn't use a bullet list in an introduction here. Bullet lists are often okay in the later part of the article, but should be avoided in the introduction. I think this criticism should rather go into "Relationship to Statistics", or maybe a separate section of criticism of data science overall (e.g. mentioning the hype, the lack of a clear definition, the lack of differentiation to earlier buzzword bingo such as business analytics, business intelligence, ...).
