I just finished the Assumptions and Weakening lessons. I feel like I'm following the subject matter and doing well on the questions, but sometimes get confused when I read everyone's comments and they split hairs about the difference between what is the premise and what is support. Are the terms not interchangeable? I understand the basic concept of the premise supporting the conclusion, but feel like maybe I'm missing something. Can someone explain the difference to me?

I'm an Arizona mom of 3 - an 8 yr old boy and twin 5 yr old boys who are in half-day kindergarten. I aim to study 12 hours/week while my kids are in school, but am also busy helping my husband run our dental practice and trying to keep up on my bookkeeping for the business. Things are crazy right now. I plan to take the exam in Feb. It's fun to hear from everyone!

Re: Q13. When Blind Reviewing, I ran this past my husband who was a biology major. The way he explained it helped me. He said that, in science, a "mechanism" is a process that follows natural law, regardless of hypothesis.
