Generally, data mining is about making sense out of large data sets.
Machine learning is one of techniques of use in that context.

Thank you for the heads up. I was certainly overdoing my point about the
importance of data presentation.

One use of machine learning applied to profiling data could be: a "find
the bottlenecks" feature in a profiling data presentation application.
Powerful visualisation tools are pertinent in that context to help
interpret the results.

Caveat: I am not speaking of something I know well, tell me if you think
I'm spouting nonsense.
