That was one of my thoughts, the amount of social data he could get from Starfleet Academy would be huge. Its not like he needed to study the material. I guess there’s an argument that Data was only as social as he was because of the academy. Or maybe the computation needed to make the officer decisions are much more intensive than we think, contrary to what Lower Decks shows heh,kidding I love that show.
You make another good point. He would have started as an Ensign, not an officer. Should have been a few more years os socializing there before being promoted.
He also attended Starfleet Academy. You’d think he’d have done some socializing there. Maybe taken a couple psych classes.
