This is what you keep getting wrong. Some asshole is going to sit at a desk somewhere and say, "computer tell me what factors are predicative of being likely to repay a mortage" or "gee, I wonder what dimensions of factor X are predictive of repaying a mortage."
Big data really not just the sum of small data. It's aggregation plus computerized analysis.
