I don't think Bowman understands the difference between design and art.
As Nate Silver says, predictability = designability. If you can predict which elements will elicit a certain reaction from a user, then you can design an experience to elicit that reaction. Data isn't optional in design, it's the sine qua non. It's not a coincidence that design is a synonym for fate; without data design doesn't exist.
