While trying to predict when we will be able to ride in self-driving cars daily,
someone who was very skeptical said,
It will take a long time to have enough big data even 30 years from now.
The sentence seems weird, doesn't it?
I know native speakers don't say 'enough big', 'enough tall'
but only 'big enough', 'tall enough'.
What if a noun is attached at the end of it?
I would've come to the conclusion that 'enough big data' is not correct
if I hadn't run into this.
------------------------------------
When we use ENOUGH with an adjective or a noun two sentence positions are possible,
but the meaning will change.
We don't have enough big sweaters for tomorrow's field trip.
-> We have some big sweaters, but we need more.
We don't have big enough sweaters for tomorrow's field trip.
-> The sweaters we have are too small, so we need bigger sweaters.

-------------------------------------
Likewise, both 'big enough data' and 'enough big data' can be grammatically correct,
only with different meanings?
Or, just like 'enough big' is incorrect, 'enough big data' still doesn't make sense?
I'd appreciate your comments.
Thank you in advance.
