People who call data modeling dead, overrated, etc - FAFO

Whenever someone states that some technology or practice is dead, I'm reminded of a G. K. Chesterton quote that no one should be allowed to remove a fence unless they know why it was built to start with.

Correct Andy, don't be removing fences if you don't know why they are there. In the area of "data modeling" men have been torching fences like there is no tomorrow.

I've recently seen some arguments claiming that SCD Type 2 is unnecessary, which seemed like "position talk," so I'd like you to provide a counterargument to that.
