In other words, a good designer turns data into knowledge.
I think I agree with you, but I'd probably phrase it rather differently. To me, data is already knowledge, but often we are limited by having too much raw, low-level knowedge and not knowing what to do with it.
A good UX can help us to understand the data and/or to make actionable decisions based on it, and so to me, a good designer (in the sense we're talking about) is someone who helps to build such a UX.
