Might be a dumb question, but why is there so much emphasis on "premise > conclusion" and "phenomenon > hypothesis"? Is there a major difference or can I just think of them as the same thing?
Just curious, is it okay to read the written explanation for some of these lessons as opposed to watching the video? Reading is faster, and I find I'm sometimes more attentive when actively reading than when I'm watching the videos.
Got it right but I had to guess between C and D and D felt stronger but I couldn't explain why. Is the reason why C is wrong essentially the formal argument flaw "all before most"?
Like if it was "most before all", (C -m> WD > FA) then this would be valid, right?
Would it be helpful if I wrote these down as flashcards with the typical question stem on one side and the correct answer critera / key tactics on the other?
I'd love to automatically have the answer criteria / tactics come to mind when I read the question stem every time, but I'm curious how much the question stem can deviate for the same type of question (which would make the flashcards less helpful)
In the explanation for #1, the phrasing "And, since “some” statements are reversible, we also know that some things that inspire awe in children are politically unpopular." is really confusing me.
I totally understand "some" statements are reversible, however when it appears in a chain that also has a solid arrow, I find it hard to reverse the statement...
unpopular ←s→ trucks → inspire awe in children
... Reading this, it feels wrong to go backwards on the arrow between "trucks" and "inspire awe in children", since that arrow doesn't go both ways. Maybe it's because of all the sufficienty-necessity drills, but I don't get how we are now able to move against the arrow -- can someone please explain how I'm getting this mixed up?
I got it correct but hesitated on answer A because it started with "in general"... I feel like in several previous lessons we've been able to cross out answer choices because they say "in general" -- is that not the case here?
