I think it was definitely a slam at "lore" and emotionally based life systems, and more-so, a holding up of data as "knowledge" or "science" being the way that the future should take. (I'm not saying that I dis-agree... though I might be...) Data was a very likable character, while Lore was less so. However, it was Data's quest to become more "human", that was so critical to his story lines. as was true for Spock...
