Reliability Tier2
Lado was, at the time of writing, a Southern Voices African Research Scholar with the Wilson Center's Africa Program, so the argument is a named specialist's, but the piece itself is a think-tank blog commentary rather than a peer-reviewed study, tiered here the same way this atlas already tiers Pinker's cross-disciplinary synthesis: a real scholar's reading, not a primary research monograph.
