The Prison-House of Data

I learned that it is Tale-Spin's processes that have the literary value, creating a fictional world that gets its fascinating strangeness from taking a recognizable aspect of human behavior, exaggerating it, and stripping away almost everything else -- answering the question, "What would fiction look like if we accept the model of humanity being proposed by this kind of cognitive science?"

Why is there the stereotype that, while computer scientists and digital artists have much to discuss, digital humanists only want to talk about data mining with the former and data visualization with the latter?
