We know that trees fall in forests because trees tend to fall and forests are full of them.

You cannot, however, assume on that basis that a particular tree fell in a particular forest last night, unless you have been there and seen that tree, or you have a reliable report to that effect

In order to draw the conclusion that any significant number of Sub-Saharan African geniuses can equal the geniuses of Europe, Asia or 'White' America we would want to see some actual evidence.

Let's see some. Please do note that most of the 'Great Black Achievers' websites tend to kick off with men such as Pushkin and Alexandre Dumas (père and fils) simply because they were partly of African descent.

By the same token why assume that a product from Mozambique should automatically NOT be of a satisfactory quality, and the delivery times and support available was acceptable, and at the right price?

I made the mistake of buying a phone from India and I certainly don't intend to start buying gear from Africa.
