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.
Thank you so much for teaching 'low-res summaries.' They have helped so much in picking the right answer but also understanding why the wrong answers are wrong. :'')
Correct and 10 sec under target! I'll take the win noting that listening to the previous lessons that go over the low res & summary for this passage thoroughly set me up for success.
My assignment- become as thorough with low res, summary, and predicting MP as Kevin in about 2.5 minutes. No biggie.
The biggest reason to not pick E even though it does mention the simulated trials and the limitations it does not mention the psychological explanation for the strategy working. Just look at the passage the majority of it dedicated to that exact point which E fails to mention.
I selected E. I thought "explanations" was too vague and ignored the psychological experiments and research conducted, especially when considering how many experiments were covered in the passage.. but if every answer is flawed then choosing one that leaves things out but has no flaws is clearly the necessary thing to do. Very tricky.

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.

like what the hell are you talking about
BOOM
the technique worked like soft butter being spread over freshly toasted bread.
nonsense
Finally got one of these level 5 RC questions right!
Had it right and then changed it to E. in blind review. Confidence comes from practice, just need to trust my gut.

I chose A. I questioned the 'legal scholars' part but I figured a lawyer could maybe be characterized as such, so I stuck with it.

I picked E. 😑 I have to read more carefully!
