🙃 Confused

Can We Negate Flaw ACs That are Describing Assumptions?

Hello everyone,

I know for many question stems, especially flaw Q's, the answer choices begins with "takes for granted, " "overlooks the possibility," presumes without justification," etc.

For these type of answer choices, can we apply the negation test and see if it destroys the argument?

The question type is not a strict "Necessary Assumption" question, but the answer choices are phrased as "Takes for granted"/assumptions, so can we treat them as similar to how we treat a necessary assumption answer choice -- and negate them?

Thanks!

In the last part of the video, he said a perfect study that shows fat protects against heart disease wouldn't weaken the argument that fat is a factor in causing heart disease. Can you please explain this reasoning? A direct denial of the conclusion based on a reasonable study seems like it would weaken the argument.
