Abstract

Humans use two cognitive strategies: data-driven and theory-driven, resembling Kahneman's Systems 1 and 2. While both are crucial, the highest forms of knowledge involve theory-based symbolic representations. Software engineering's recent data-centric trend cannot systematically produce ethical software, which requires connecting data with semantics and purpose.
