Among others, as it is an earlier publication, Lazer et al.'s 2009 computational social science paper might be cited here as well:

Computational social science could become the exclusive domain of private companies and government agencies. Alternatively, there might emerge a privileged set of academic researchers presiding over private data from which they produce papers that cannot be critiqued or replicated. Neither scenario will serve the long-term public interest of accumulating, verifying, and disseminating knowledge.

Something along this line might be mentioned here:

this discrepancy might also relate to Watt's argument that "if sociologists want their explanations to be causal, they must place less emphasis on understandability (i.e., sense making) and more on their ability to make predictions."
