yeah, I'm pretty sure they do stuff like this on purpose to see what extent people are able to compartmentalize their emotions and not get distracted by them, so that they can focus on the cold hard facts of the stimulus.
@HenryLehmann I think @ryanpalmer1717 said it best---they're doing it on purpose to test how well you can compartmentalize emotions and focus on cold, hard facts.
lol for me, reading the question and I blurted out "they prob fked up the eyes" looked for that in choices, BANG. Don't get me wrong I was getting bodied low key from the other questions.
I've noticed this type of question is not as intuitive for me as some of the previous sections. Even though I am getting them right, I am not confident in my answers.
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
I think what’s helped me the most with time is considering the possibilities of flaw answers while im reading. Most of the time, its similar to the answer choice.

TBH I couldn't focus on this question, because I was too caught up in this experiment being totally inhumane.
LOL i did the same thing like as soon as i read that they put the lenses on BEFORE they opened their eyes

I feel bad for these owls

Average Stanford ethics experiment
lmao
This is one cruel experiment
Lmao, I'm glad there's a lot of comments agreeing with me about how fucked up this experiment sounds.
Got this one right but at the cost of those owls
why is this experiment lowkey evil
@anniethach made me pissed
This reminds me of when I used to cross my eyes and everyone would say they'll get stuck like that.
the rare animal-cruelty LSAT question type...
my worst enemy is reading the answer choices incorrectly.
poor animals
this is why i'm going to law school, to get justice for these owls.
im so mad for these owls...
Fuck these hypothetical scientists
Bruh this question is so sad, wtf is wrong with these hypotheical scientists
Why LSAT writers so obsessed with questions about dead animals and animal abuse

Chat this is a real study from 1989.
@WilRothman I'm not even a little surprised. Because they've let them do worse.
@WilRothman That picture of the owl in goggles is so sad

I only got this right because the study made me upset. How evil! haha. I guess attacking arguments really does work.
Why did this make me sad for the hypothetical owls
Me too! I'm always feeling for the animals. #Vegan

C. to me, it was never established that this was a strictly human reasoning process
D. were not worried about other bird species
E. the evidence wasn’t irrelevant
@TiaraFulcher Love how you are breaking down each question, this is how my head is sounding when going through the answers!
This argument is a real hoot.
it's really humbling taking 4+ minutes on these and seeing that they're only level 2 difficulty ;-;
