Hi Supreet1,

This is a sufficient assumption question, so we are looking to find the gap or flaw in the argument, and then we are going to try to fill that gap.

The author tells us that PI is a skill that one cannot develop on one's own, and then concludes that if someone were given everything they wanted, they could never develop PI.
