Peperino, the probablem with unstandardized comparisons like using US/Hoboken with Somalia is obviously infrastructure, zoning rules, industrialization, eye.
Basically it is possible 3generations of a Somali family live in thr same per capita sq as 1 bachelor.
Obviously, of course everything else is correct,I just disagree fundamentally @ how serruptiously Nomand is weaponizing this serious issue to inform a false narrative.
Even the allusion to juxtaposition has alread been judged "an acceptable level of risk" in making the salient point. Essentially, he forked over a dime to grab a Dollar's worth.
This is also the rationale extended to the same NGO groups that allow them to get away with shoddy methodology.
The World Bank NEEDS information and Somalia has an extreme lack of information. Therefore anything with a minimally scientific veneer with the presencen of an identifiable methodology will do it. The NGO's know there is no minimal QA or fact checking so the crank out blanks
I don't even think it is because "some clans" have more influence than others as rarely are these population studies entities staffed or even influenced by direct clan lobbying.
I think it has more to do with security ironically.
1. The alleged perception of security means more field visits and other random info filling the UN and associated "DATABANKS."
2.The more disproportionate overrepresentation in the big pool of data banks the more "RAW INFORMATION" available to source even if that info has not been measured/weighted andor statistical analysis
3. Which all leads to what we see, a clearly problematic situation using inference but they have the minimal scientific veneer of an identifiable methodology
THE PROBLEM HERE IS THE DATA POOL.
Either they establish a standardized methodology or some outside (even Somali entity) needs to come into existence providing scientific review of all studies purporting on this subject and establish a sort of public file or grading system based on the weakness of methodology and level of basic accuracy.
