You're kind of arguing that you can't walk without studying kinematics.


im not though. I don't think you need to know measure theory and understand how to formalize probability in terms of sigma algebras to do professional stats.

But I would be very skeptical of a professional data scientist that doesn't understand things like derivative, integral, limit on an intuitive level. I don't know how you would understand distributions without that knowledge


R is not exclusive to professional data scientists.
