There isn't. This paper is nearly 2 decades old and isn't nearly as relevant as you would think given how many times it gets trotted out. Any statistician under the age of 45 would not recognize the two cultures as they are described here.

I'm a statistician under 45 who has first-hand experience with the separate cultures laid out here. The gap isn't as big as it used to be, but it still exists.
