Unfortunately I think, therefore I am reveals a rather counterproductive aspect of radical skepticism. Part of the conclusion reached is that one can only be absolotely certain of one's own existance. Everything else in the universe is suspect. It makes it rather difficult to state anything at all as a "fact". You just can't be certain.
