A. CORRECT - If the lenses permanently impacted the sight of the barn owls, that would serve as an alternative explanation as to why the owls reacted to sound the way they did
B. never makes any assumptions about all owls
C. to me, it was never established that this was a strictly human reasoning process
Is anyone else feeling like the separation of these question types at this point is doing a little more harm than good? I over thought this one thinking about how "differently" should be approaching this question from a flaw question...
Lets pretend B said all barn owls. Doesn't this rely on the idea that barn owls can all see to similar extents? if they are given glasses that mess with their vision then they have to all have similar vision? I felt like choice A relied on the assumption in B, they have to be able to see if their vision is to be distorted?
My one qualm with this question was answer choice E. The video discounted this choice fairly quickly but I think it had some legs. The fact that the movement was not corrected does not show you anything conclusive about whether the visual system was actually utilized or not, which is why I think E could be possible. I had to work with the actual experiment this prompt is about in a class, so maybe I am just infusing too much of my own prior experience into an otherwise "more simple" question.
PS in the actual experiment the vision corrected back but sound did not smh
I feel like I intuitively understand these questions. I will read the correct AC and then choose it immediately once I read it. Ik this is overconfidence, but why is it that some questions come easier to others because I FLOPPED on SA questions but my confidence is back.
i got this wrong because i thought the right answer was almost too obvious and perfect lol

D. were not worried about other bird species
E. the evidence wasn’t irrelevant
Why LSAT writers so obsessed with questions about dead animals and animal abuse
This reminds me of when I used to cross my eyes and everyone would say they'll get stuck like that.

Lmao, I'm glad there's a lot of comments agreeing with me about how fucked up this experiment sounds.
I found this easier than the previous ones. I treated it like a weaken question. Lol I thought J.Y. was was trying to trick us
didn't catch b says ALL owls but thankfully even if it says all barn owls is not correct !
poor animals
my worst enemy is reading the answer choices incorrectly.
the rare animal-cruelty LSAT question type...
why is this experiment lowkey evil

This argument is a real hoot.
I don't think my statistics professor would have approved of this experiment.
Average Stanford ethics experiment
This is one cruel experiment
I only got this right because the study made me upset. How evil! haha. I guess attacking arguments really does work.
I was between A and E and decided wrongly sighs*

wanted to pick B based on the fact that the experiment part could be messed up but went back to A in BR
im so mad for these owls...
Fuck these hypothetical scientists
spent 4 minutes on a 2 star question <3
i got this wrong because i thought the right answer was almost too obvious and perfect lol
