I fell into the trap and clicked B, and right as I hit "submit drill" I let out an "AHHHH" because I had realized exactly the trap I fell into, but it was too late to correct my answer
Fell for the trap answer at first, but then in BR, I chose D. I'm trying to wrap my head as to why I fell for it, and only went with D in BR as it was my next best bet.
Question D seemed the most logical because it addresses public opinion, which both stimuli address. Through the process of elimination, I got D. B was immediately crossed off, as Waller mentions nothing about critics, and Chin’s statement only mentions skeptical critics to display how they have power over public opinion. It provides a context for their disagreement regarding the proof of extrasensory perception about public opinion.
I just want to say that I'm extremely proud of myself for getting this right in the blind review. I got it wrong the first time, but it comforts me that it was simply the time pressure.
I feel like we are ignoring the whole part of the stimulus. How can we not equate "Convince the general public of its existence by clearly demonstrating those powers" and "if it were a real phenomenon, could be demonstrated to the satisfaction of all the skeptics". Is it because Walts opinion denoted the people needing convincing as the general public, and Chin denotes the people that need convincing the "skeptics" and thus the elites that influence the general public? Is it because the two opinions of who needs convincing are not talking about the same group of people?
I chose B but realize it's wrong because Waller doesn't address skeptics. From how i read it Waller states that the phenomenon can be accepted and exist so long as the general public accepts it and says they prob will because of the nature of it. But Chin fully shuts down this by saying skeptics will shut it down and thus influence the general public and thus as a whole it could not be believable (which is an inference). So, D is correct.

I got it under time!!........ but i was wrong :) CLASSIC
I've literally gotten every practice problem wrong OMGGG. How are you guys getting it??
I fell into the trap and clicked B, and right as I hit "submit drill" I let out an "AHHHH" because I had realized exactly the trap I fell into, but it was too late to correct my answer

i was so shocked I got this right and only 11 seconds ove time that I sceamed, called it lunch break, and made a sandwich.
I was shocked to find that B was the most popular answer, that was the answer choice I struck down nearly immediately
I've tried breaking this down several different ways, and it's not nearly as clear to me as any of the other ones.
My only real takeaway here is that "good evidence for" is comparable to a conditional statement.
I'm not seeing a rigorous, methodical way of preventing a misunderstanding like this happening in the future. Frustrating.
Its all about the 'implication'

so, I miss the easy ones, but get the hard ones right lol. still can't get to 1 minute per question though.
This is the first time I skipped blind review because I was so confident I knocked it out of the park. Way to knock me down a peg
I had D and then second guessed myself and put A. Dang!! I am finding that a lot of my wrong answers come from me second guessing

Would B be correct if "all" were changed to "most" or "many"?
I need to remember to break down the answer options' grammar and structure similar to what I do for the stim.
Looking at (B), "all skeptics" should have been a clear give away because I knew Waller's statement referred to the general public.
I was shocked I got this wrong and that it was so difficult. I was so confident. I definitely need to slow down especially while practicing.
Was stuck between A and C the whole time so to find both of those were wrong was like ouch lmao
I went hunting i fear...... really should have spent more time on this one, but I got it next time! (or ones like it at least)
Getting this right was such a confidence booster.
im just gonna have to get a question like this wrong idk man...
I was on such a roll too

#feedback getting a 404 on the lessons to review "low hanging coconut"
