Kevin's note that we shouldn't be too concerned with speed yet was on point. I was just stressing that I took too long for the previous section's drills.
once I drew out the logic in a map, it was easy to connect the missing premise
@moonydidit Yes I agree, WSE and this section in particular have such long explanations. And sometimes the video explanation isn't the same as the text explanation.
Q5: doesn't the "can't" in "spellcasters can't cast 9th level spells" mean that it should be the necessary condition?
@MirandaSwartz I also thought the same. I interpreted it as "Only beings who are pure of heart can lift the hammer" which would be "Lift hammer -> Pure of heart"
Can a tutor explain how this question differs from the Joggers and Stretching question we saw earlier? In the Joggers question, the correct AC is that the people who are most prone to injury are the ones who developed the habit to stretch. For this one, a similar answer (E) is wrong. Is it because in this question the people studied haven't self-selected into 2 groups? #help
@AlizaGGG But the contrapositive of TB3M --> EM is not /TB3M--> /EM. It should be EM --> TB3M. I'm stumped on this part too because using the formal argument #3 logic I end up with 2 separate clauses that can't be chained together.
For #3's second line I wrote
/Written down -> /Truth
I apply the rule for group 3 here, taking "written down", negate it, and use it as the sufficient condition. Since the sentence specifies "no myths" so we apply the rule for group 4 and also negate "Truth"
so contrapoint is
Truth -> Written down
The note in the explanation says using the "written down" idea as the sufficient condition is fine, but now "Truth -> Written down" can't be chained with 1st sentence. Am I misunderstanding some of the concepts from Group 3 or 4? #help
