For me, AC A looked attractive at first but when I skimmed the passage I didn't remember anything about actual trials so once I got to AC C I knew it was right.
On blind review I reviewed the passage and confirmed that A wasn't right because the passage specifically said "no actual trials".
Right now, writing out the low res summaries really helps me to stay anchored to the passage.
Since the correct answer was not as comprehensive here, it seems important to note that the question stem asks about which answer choice "most accurately expresses the main point" rather than "most accurately and completely summarizes the passage".
I quickly determined E to be wrong because the word 'vindicated' felt too strong. Was this valid quick reasoning here, or does the use of that word not impact the answer being wrong?
I’m starting to think the whole “low-res” technique is kind of bullshit. I wouldn’t have thought to put the distinction between “actual trials” and experiments simulating trials into a low-res summary. And frankly I don’t think the guy explaining this passage to us did that either. Honestly at this point it just seems more viable for me to use retention & looking back at the text.
Finally got one of these level 5 RC questions right!

Cheap ass trick, I'll remember it next time
I always give the language of the Answer choices the benefit of the doubt, need to be more critical of weird wording like in E.
actual trials punched me in the face
I snap-clicked C when I read it without going to D or E. I definitely would have struggled with the choice if I had read E, though.
A totally got me, and then as soon as I hit submit I realized that the "actual trials" made it a trap, smh.
Should have went with my gut, C felt right but chose A instead...
yeouch
be so for real...

ez
so in lsat terms, i should treat vindicate as definitively proving something?
The word "held" in the right answer was throwing me off.
got it right and 34 seconds under time im so cracked
i be so happy when i get 1 question correct lol

chat I think RC is my stronger suit compared to LR
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The LSAC can suck my ass and balls for this question. Probably the most difficult main point question I have ever encountered in 6 months of studying.
