So... To demonstrate that data science is a distinct field from statistics we get the story of four statisticians?
Similarly we might find the backgrounds of programmers to be diverse - less than 50% are CS majors. We might conclude that programming is a separate discipline from computer science. Sure, it is. But i think data science and statistics are related in the same way: one provides the theory for the other's practice.
