@TeklaCo It confuses an absolute claim with a relative claim. While it says that one is likely to feel comfortable approaching a stranger near one's age, the conclusion drawn is based on the assumption that one is MORE likely to feel comfortable approaching a stranger near one's age than otherwise.
Could someone give a quick summary of a 'necessary' cause, in the context of informal/causal logic? My understanding is something i's a necessary cause if the effect is present. But does it need to also be the only necessary cause? Or can there be multiple necessary causes for the same effect/outcome? My guess is yes, but want to check.
@e.wimoine If something is necessary then it must occur for something else to occur - ie. if Juno is a cat, then she is an animal. So the necessary condition here is that she is an animal, she has to be one to be a cat. All cats are animals, not all animals are cats. So, in a similar way, there can also be other necessary factors (other things that Juno the cat has to be). Or in a causal logic example, if Juno the cat doesn't get fed at 6am, then she will be hangry. So it's necessary that if she doesn't get fed, this effect will take place. We aren't given other info like if Juno the cat doesn't get fed at 6am, she will paw at the door ... but it could be true. We only know the relationship of that one cause to effect. All we know is if that cause is happening, the effect has to happen.

How is this a level 5. I have been struggling this entire lesson but this was so clear to me for some reason
@BenjaminMcDaniel Agreed
yeah no
Yk what hell yeah
Very surprised this was level 5 difficulty.
ya the writers of ts need to touch grass
Let's take a step back and ask....why? Why don't lawyers just talk normal?
yeah no. will return to this later
what type of flaw is this?

I got this but it took me 10 minutes.
Anytime I see a short stim I already know I'm getting wrecked in the answer choices
@JunoGrace getting wrecked is fine. This is how we figure out where we need to get stronger i.e. its just part of the process / dont fret*
I got this question wrong because I don't have any long term friends and don't know what those are
bruh
Correct with 38 seconds to spare, I'm just gonna bask in this victory before getting destroyed soon.
@ALee24 this is so real...
I was so close to choosing B but E just made more sense to me after pondering it over. The one time second guessing myself has paid off.
I didn't choose answer choice E because I was like "there's no way the answer is that easy."
@jessverpez LITERALLY
I literally KNEW it was E on the first time i read it but I crossed it off both times bc i said no way its too obvious of an answer.. i stg
This is the dumbest question I've encountered in my life. Law school ain't worth it
@spitfire-6 but it issssssssss worth it
This question made no sense but got it right during BR Lmao
i got this one correct in 1:14! Did not feel like a level 5 at all
So if I understand correctly, there is a suf/nec flaw AND a causal flaw, but the correct ac only talks about the causal flaw?
Why are the explanations so longgg
I didn't understand this one at all
Fuck my fucking chuengus life

Any useful examples would be v helpful!
