can someone break down necessary condition vs sufficient for me again in simple terms? I will feel confident understanding it just to get it wrong again
so far i have a perfect score on formal flaw questions but a zero on informal flaw questions... what am i doing wrong? why isnt informal makes sense to me the way formal is?!
#help okay I am getting tripped up because I feel like so many of these are simply “confusing suf. for nec.”
For ex. this question and like two questions ago - I was choosing A. Then consciously decided to change my answer, thinking there is no way there is this many confusing suf. for nec. and maybe I am being tricked.
#Feedback. So the flaw in this question is that the argument didn't Negate B first and then negate A. But instead Negated A and then B, which is not how sufficient/necessary rules work.
This entire section has helped me realize just how important it is to avoid the sufficiency-necessity confusion. Thankfully, it's starting to stick out like a sore thumb now. Thanks, JY!
This unit was not too difficult imo. Though I went over target time because I was between A and C but glad I noticed A was literally what the whole argument was concluding.
Just because something is sufficient doesn't make it necessaryyyyyy!!! ; )

Does anyone else feel like this?

mightve only been 3 seconds under, but we got it right baby
Idk how to explain it but I just felt in my soul that there was a sufficient necessity confusion and went with A LMAO.

Got it in under a minute 😮💨
7 seconds lower than target after struggling this whole unit <3
getting faster, 12 seconds slower than target and correct
Just to confirm the initial logic of the premise in the stimulus...
ignoring the unlikely/likely language the premise is:
majority favor → built.
so would it be correct to conclude, /built → /majority favor?
Just because something is sufficient doesn't make it necessaryyyyyy!!! ; )
