Yes I think you do have a point, but I don't think it's about things like visual resolution and the amount of data it generates. It may be about the much greater variety of data we see and about our ability to experiment and interact with the world around us in order to test our beliefs.

So maybe you could say it's about the quality of information not just the amount of data of one particular kind.

In any event, this is a debate that is only at the very beginning. I don't claim to have come to a conclusion. I just think those brute force statistical techniques are not the end of the road but rather a practical workaround for the brittleness and the complexity of traditional rule based systems.
