What I think is definitely not a good idea is having a rigid distinction between experimentalists and theoreticians, which seems in general agreement with your perspective.

This is why I am not sure in all this where I would fit in.

Above I made a typo. I meant to link to http://redistrict.science — what kind of modelling is that? It uses data but it doesn't really predict anything in and of itself.
-
I'd be say/guess in cognitive (neuro)science you span the part of the spectrum ranging from theoretical modeling to data modeling. (the 1 dimension is a simplification ofc). And your gerrymandering work is an example of mathematical/computational modeling for social engineering?
-
Yeah, exactly. BTW TIL because I have no idea social engineering meant what you just used it as! I only knew it as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_engineering_(security) …

Oh! That meaning I indeed did not mean. I constructed it on the fly, so perhaps I deviate from common usage.

No, you used the right phrase! And I learned something! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_engineering_(political_science) …
