It would be helpful to also frame this walkthrough alongside the learning from previous classes about the 4 competing hypotheses and the ways to evaluate causal arguments (e.g., chronology, causal mechanisms etc). I think that's what is being discussed in the final paragraph ("alternative causes") and some of the comments in this Discussion thread have been helpful for this.
"If you conclude that Tylenol makes people feverish, I'm going to slap you"
LOL I will be keeping this in mind as I study causation...I really like the examples too as I've been struggling with causal reasoning in drills and PTs
I take ibuprofen for cramps but still experience abdominal pain, therefore ibuprofen causes the pain WRONG - it may even alleviate it in some way bc the severity may have weakened, but the pain is still there, just minimized.
So glad to be paying for a study program that allows me to enjoy reading through the material. Mental breaks like this lesson was much needed, because idk about everyone else but this whole section had me go haywire
It was super weird reading this. I am participating in an anti-motion sickness drug trial right now. The big experiment was putting a bunch of people with motion sickness on a ferry in choppy water before giving each person a varying dosage of the medication. I got the placebo... They didn't tell me that I did, but I know.
#help could someone run these by the types of hypothesis?
1. A causes B. Taking dramamine causes symptoms of sickness. mhmm how?
2. Symptoms of sickness are cause by taking dramamine. not sure of this one either.
3. C causes both A and B. Maybe having a really bad current makes the ship move more so causes people to take dramamine and also causes them to have more symptoms of sickness
what is the point of this part for the lsat exam???

What is up with the random violence in the writing? You guys are abusive.
lol i love the evil genius vibes this lesson is giving
#feedback this makes so much sense but I would love videos on these topics!!
#feedback. why are these not on videos/ voiceovers?
#feedback this lesson would be a great voiceover video !!!
#feedback Pleeeeeeease give us functionality to highlight sections of text.
so what are the basic principles of setting up an experiment, for it to random by picking out groups?
Am I really gonna have the time to run a whole idea experiment on the test? no
This lesson was so easy to comprehend and the added lingo and character made it so much easier to read. Thanks!

Tip: if these lessons confuse you, copy and paste the text into ChatGBT and ask them to simplify it and break it down in a way that makes sense.

so what is this a valid arguement or not??????
Best lesson of this section so far, pulled the last few lessons together nicely!
saying he's going to slap for thinking tylenol makes you feverish took me out!
Now we know what the last couple lessons are for lol
Could also be the Dramamine had no effect at all.
i love JY so much
a gen z or millennial is writing this, its too funny.
the author said all filters are off lol, very entertaining to read and comprehend.

4. No Causal relationship. can't be this one
Is this right?
