Like, this is a serious question. A skill isn't vibes, there has to be something that you can actually learn, complete with that connects that skill to output. Maybe the theory behind that skill isn't as rigorous as a scientific theory, but if it's entirely absent, if you have no way of knowing a real skill apart from vibes? Then yeah, you've just got vibes.
