    That's not how I heard it. At one aircraft company, pre WWII, there were two analysts that made data plots in the flight test department. Some data was extremely hard to get, so that plotter's job was to put a family of curves through one data point (hopefully based on some theory). Other data was readily available but extremely noisy, that plotter had the job of putting a best-fit single line through all the noise.
