Sturla,
  that's funny.
In the same vein, there are two kinds of customers:
- smart, but no money
- money, but no smarts.

On a related split see Breiman, "Statistical Modeling: The Two

related because many splits are cultural, e.g. practitioners vs
academics.
I can't begin to summarize Breiman -- read it, it's really good.
