Your question is very interesting and thought provoking and I think the answer is really tied to the evolution of the roles played by pathologists and informaticists. Obviously, with the growth of the molecular lab industry space the Next Gen Sequencing, PCR, et al, we are inundated with more data than ever before (moving from Gigabytes to Terabytes) and as a result there has emerged a generation of PhD informaticists who are coming from the mathematics/computer science fields and collaborating with pathologists in making diagnostic sense of the massive amounts of informatics available.
As a Techno Geek and not a clinician, I might have a different view of this question.
