@Lidiia You critiqued the AI . . . by using AI to write the criticism?

I got a 180 on this PT and still got this question wrong. The explanation is absolutely right - skip these and never look back. I don't think there's any universe in which I get this question right under time pressure. It's just too hard to find the "support" for B, because it's only mentioned in a tiny part of the passage and even then requires you to make a shaky inference.

First 14/14! I'm making progress. RC has been kicking my ass, compared to LR.

Way over time, though. Not sure how to get that down - hoping it just comes with time and experience.

@dbasalone I'm sorry you feel that way. I was merely making the point that it's difficult to arrive at A as an answer if you notice that the question stem makes a distinction between what "many lawyers" believe and what the authors believe. But you know what? I bet you won't make this mistake on the test now, because you have this memory. Good score, here we come!

@dbasalone No, it empirically suggests that many people misread the question stem and overlooked the part where it says "many lawyers believe". A is clearly the wrong answer, and if you chose it, it's because you were careless in reading the question stem.

@Andrew.spiers2 I, too, found the explanation differentiating A from C unsatisfactory. Skepticism (of the effectiveness in being understood) seemed like a weak line of attack, considering that's the exact reason the author suggests custom medical pictures would be helpful - in shoring up a gap in understanding. If there is a gap in understanding, that suggests that the expert medical testimony alone is less effective than it could or should be. I find that C captures the idea better than A as a whole, but not because the second part of the statement in A is wrong in any way -I think it is entirely correct, C is just more correct because "awareness of limitations" is weaker and thus more applicable, and because it specifies the nature of the problem with expert medical testimony, that being that it is entirely verbal.

The analysis in the video implied that we can rule out A on the basis of the word skepticism. I don't agree - C is right because the question stem says ". . . is MOST accurately described as". Both are accurate. C is simply more accurate, but I don't think we can rule out A other than via a direct comparison with answer C.

I think the stronger case against answer A is really in attacking the first half of the answer (appreciation of the difficulty) rather than the last half (skepticism); there is less textual evidence to support this than the very general and implied "acceptance of the accuracy" found in answer C. When you take in A holistically, it conveys the vague idea that the inadequacy of expert medical testimony as a problem that is being solved by the pictures, with this as their purpose, and I didn't see that as the main point of the passage.

I understand why it's D and not C, but it required a lot of thinking and was not formulaic - I don't think I could get this answer quickly under time pressure consistently. Is there a rule of thumb that helps us eliminate C in scenarios like this? "Be careful with 'most' relationships when kicking something up to the domain"?

So far, the questions have been too easy. I'm not sure if that's just because I'm still in the early portion of the core curriculum, but it might be good to have some more challenging questions.

@DavidDuncan88 Also, the only questions recommended for blind review were the 3 I got wrong. Is this typical?
