This isn’t an intellectual stance. It’s a cop-out mechanism. Skepticism is a kind of relativism, it reduces all element of absoluteness to doubtfulness; while making illogical exception for skepticism itself.

It nullifies itself because if true; by its own method, it can’t prove itself to be true but a good legerdemain by its wielder.

The atrocious banality of this take.

Data or statistics can’t establish a one-way causation of the proposed effect.

Data are abstracted from personal experiences, it detaches the subjectivity from the experience
(objectivisation) and abstracts experiences in the most general terms— numbers(quantity devoid of quality & meaning).

Andela actually started a training school, they took in young Nigerians with little or no programming experience and trained them for software development, heck...
