Physics and data analysis

Today physics education consists of teaching Newtonian doctrine mixed with data analysis techniques.

This is a strange mixture.

As the result of their education physicists truly believe that when they do data analysis they are doing Newtonian physics!!

To me data analysis and Newtonian doctrine are two different subjects with no relation.

I am trying to understand the relationship between data analysis and physics. I asked this question before but I did not get a clear answer.

Can any one who never studied physics do data analysis?

For instance do I need to know any physics at all to analyze the Cosmic Microwave Radiation?

This is also related to jurisdiction of physics, why are simple algorithms considered physics? Because they are associated with scholastic labels physicists create.

I also noticed that there are several other kinds of dualities in physics, one of which is experiment/theory. Most often what is measured has nothing to do with what is modelled. There is no connection with the gadget and the theory. Physicist counts the oscillations of an oscillator and then associate it with a theoretical speculation. We know this already.
