The real value right now is in figuring out how to generate robust data cheaply and quickly. I'd wager that the effect of a good model on marginal data is small, but the effect of a marginal model on great data is probably quite large.
I completely agree with you. Data quality is the most important. One thing that's sad is how much academic data that's not reproducible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis
