		| Abstract: | 
		This paper presents an individual view on the current state
 of computational data processing and statistics for inference and discovery in
 multi-object spectroscopic surveys, supplemented by a historical perspective
 and a few present-day applications. It is more op-ed than review,
 and hopefully more readable as a result. |
