my brain hurts from trying to understand this stimulus

I was stuck between choice (D) - provide a reason why scientists are interested in studying the LHB
and
choice (E) - introduce additional support for the dating of the LHB
I chose choice (E) and ended up crossing off choice (D) b/c I thought - of course scientists in astronomy centers would want to study the LHB....they're astronomers - duh.
My point being that I thought this was strongly implied so why would the author bother mentioning something for a reason that is already so obvious? Which I why I ended up thinking D was a trap answer choice.
I now understand why E is incorrect, but I'm still leaving this comment b/c out of my own curiosity I'm wondering if anyone had the same line of reasoning and/or how many other people get in their own way on this test from over thinking?
It's frustrating b/c this test requires you to think differently but if you think differently a little too much then you're overthinking and get the wrong answer haha. One of the perils of LSAT prep...stay strong - we're in this together.

Does anyone happen to know which LR lessons discuss 'most' meaning over half? (I started RC before finishing LR and I'm going back and forth between the two sections due to limited time)

My low res strategy:
Highlight the first word of each paragraph break and then on my allowed scratch paper write down the number of the paragraph break (1st highlight = paragraph break #1 etc.) and the corresponding low res summary.
I understand this takes extra time, but I'm just not someone who is going to be able to keep track of the low res summaries in my head. For me, taking the extra time to use my method is a lot faster than me re-reading the passage multiple times to try and remember what my mental low res summaries were. This isn't a perfect strategy, but it's the best one for me.
P.S. my toxic trait is continuing to read and leave comments despite already being behind on my LSAT prep...not me taking the November test :)

I appreciate when the lessons make a note of how what we're learning applies to law school and/or the legal profession :) #feedback

I love CCv2, but please bring back the conditional indicator flashcards from CCv1-those were gold.

I attempted this question prior to watching the video explanation by using the quick view feature. Though I got the correct answer, I still watched the video explanation afterwards and tbh found it to be confusing.
When I attempted it on my own, all I did was map out the conditional relationship and then immediately map out its contrapositive and then the correct answer was clear.
So, if you find the video explanation confusing then I would try mapping out the conditional statement and the contrapositive in a way that makes sense to you as long as the meaning stays the same.
For example, here's what I did:
P > 50 & +25% → /F
F → /P >50 or /P +25%
Gentle reminder: Just because you don't understand something explained in one way does not mean that you won't understand it explained in another way - don't give up.

I want to be anonymous in the sense that I can keep the username that I chose (my current username) rather than having my actual name appear. However, I don't like the idea of anonymity through default usernames such as 'user 2150' . I personally love seeing the usernames people select - some are funny, motivating, etc. My favorite part of 7Sage is the online community and I believe default usernames would really subtract from the current atmosphere/culture. Also, it's nice when you recognize a username in a current lesson b/c the user left a helpful comment in a prior lesson. Typically, such users continue to make helpful comments throughout the course. Btw, I incorrectly voted. I should have clicked 'no' to the survey not 'yes'. My brain is fried...plz don't judge me haha but I am now wondering if anyone else mis-read the survey as well.

It's really reassuring to see how quickly I get to the correct answers after taking the time to build my road map. I know this is exactly the point, but I bring it up because I am still really slow at parsing through the passages and doing my low res summaries and that can feel really defeating so getting the answers quickly, as is the intention, gives me hope that I will get RC down eventually :)

Low res summaries have been so helpful to me. However, for this question, I think another good strategy, to avoid falling victim to the trap of searching for each answer choice in the passage, would be to first read through all of the answer choices (before going hunting at all) to see if anything jumps out at you as not properly describing the view held by Snell. If I had done that then I would have been able identify B as the correct answer choice much quicker and without having to refer back to the passage at all.

Getting tired of seeing all these negative comments...
I, for one, am grateful to Kevin for creating these video lessons. I was nervous about the RC section, but after watching just this first video lesson, I am hopeful that I can get the RC section down.
Kevin, thank you for time & efforts and for not having an annoying voice haha. #feedback
For those of you complaining that these video lessons have just recently become available, chill.
If you're super close to taking the LSAT, I can see how the timing of these lessons becoming available is frustrating. Still, Kevin and every other person creating content for 7Sage are only human.
I would think that more people would be appreciative of the fact that 7Sages cares about putting out quality content.
Rant over. Thank you for reading :)

I think mostly everyone takes wayyy longer to complete the lessons than the estimated time. Unless, of course, they are from J.Y.'s bloodline which unfortunately is not the case for me lol

Taking a pause to review b/c after going through this lesson my exhaustion kicked in and I couldn't remember the argument types as quickly as I should. All of the below content is from the lessons, btw. It just helps me to have the content in one place.
If I'm missing anything, or something could be explained in another way, please let me know!
General Argument - premise(s) + conclusion
Conditional Argument - If X then Y ( if one condition happens, then it guarantees the other condition happens...a relationship between a sufficient condition and a necessary condition). Conditional arguments are a type of formal logic - they are either valid or invalid...there is no in between. If the premises are true, then the conclusion must be true = valid argument
Casual Argument - Premises are presented as a phenomenon which cause (trigger) the conclusion which is presented as a hypothesis (the explanation of the phenomenon). Casual Arguments are informal meaning they cannot be valid...even if the premises are true it can never be said that the conclusion "must be true" at most the conclusion can be "very strong".

Decided to skim over the text for this lesson, after watching the video, and found this gem:
"(B) is employing a distraction tactic. You're trying to drive. I'm unbuttoning my shirt. Of course you're distracted. You're merely mortal. But please. Eyes on the road. We're trying to explain why fossilized skeletons are rare whereas fossilized teeth are plentiful." (insert crying emoji)
I appreciate J.Y.'s humor throughout the course...it makes me more engaged rather than subtracting from the content. #feedback

In reference to #1 under Let's Review:
I may be wrong but I thought in one of the earlier RC lessons that if the author doesn't give an opinion that the main point is simply that a debate exists...
Also, how would we know which perspective the author is focusing on if the author did not express an opinion?
time stamp 3:23 - J.Y. says 'only' is a group 3 indicator but it is listed under group 2 indicators #feedback
