Um, yes and no. Some of the data annotation problems get really hard and really expensive. Look at radiology or genomics. You literally need N people to die for more knowledge in some of these situations.

Data cleaning and data labeling are two separate tasks, with vastly different workflows. For example, getting structured data out of Whois requires a lot of cleanup. Labeling domains as “bad” might take forever.
