Is your criticism that these places are making false promises, or:

RCTs and placebos work exactly this way. People literally die to help us learn what does and does not work. We lost 8-9 months of COVID-19 deaths because of a system that needs to go slow, and yet had experimentation regimes that still put participants at risk.

I don't know of any verification method that doesn't require some degree of risk for the participants, but I'd love to hear one.

Why are you bringing up vaccines and medicine in a discussion about bootcamps?

I’m criticizing both the false claims and the VC model of hyper scaling and hyper growth being applied to education.

"Move fast and break things" isn't the motto of the medical industry, but it is for tech. So how is this even related?

If you want to talk about medicine, that’s a completely different discussion.
