💪 Motivated

Spaced Repetition

I think it could be useful to add space repetition drills for some things. The two I can think of off the top of my head are:

the "indicator words" (sufficient, necessary, negate-sufficient, negate-necessary)
identifying question types

I did some SR myself with flashcards, but the word set is limited as I just picked from the most common ones, and the ID question types is hard to do physically without a lot of work. Being able to easily and effortlessly id indicator words and id question types is such a hack to speeding up and removing analysis exhaustion on the small things.

I recently did https://7sage.com/lessons/logical-reasoning/sufficient-assumption-questions/skill-builder-logical-reasoning-question-stems-first-half and wish I could just hit 20-30 of these a every other day or so until its second nature.

@AdeeshaSenanayake "if you were to negate it, it would directly attack the conclusion"

Oh thats a really strong way to look at it. I was thinking something like "isn't the stim already taking the data to be correct as an assumption?"

I ended up picking D from POE anyway, but I like your way of thinking about it

Lessons · You Try - The Reliability of Subjective Reports

Monday, Jun 8

@SavannahMiller Read "cannot reliably determine" as "is not always accurate" which reads as "is sometimes inaccurate". And read "highly susceptible to inaccuracy" as "usually inaccurate".

"usually inaccurate" meets the burden of "is sometimes inaccurate".

The writers used quantitative sets without using always/usually/sometimes/many/some/etc. You have to read in those qualifiers.

What does "cannot reliably determine" mean? Well it means that at least some of the time, we cannot be accurate. And so on.

@JZ123 Its starting to click for me "Find the Missing Bridge".

P: Photographers express their worldview.

C: Photographs are interpretations

Missing bridge must be something like "Express Worldview == Interpret"

I just start ignoring everything that is not the things being linked. What is the author trying to link? And what is the gap in that link?

I start with the conclusion. Photographs are interpretations. Ok... where do we talk about interpretations? We don't. We do talk about expressing worldviews with photographs.. Ok the author is trying to convince us that expressing a worldview and interpreting are the same thing.

Start with what is in the conclusion, try to find the evidence of the conclusion, and identify the missing link that would make the evidence actually prove the conclusion.

@mostxareyallyarezthusmostxarez Yeah can be false is not false, just an ability to be so. "Can be P and B" is not a negation. I think "One is a pilot and is blind" is what was meant. That is P and B. I don't know it probably doesn't matter.

If you can be blind and be a pilot, but there are no blind pilots then "No pilots are blind" is true. No getting around that

@armiduh Yeah I often read closely until I find the answer then quickly skim all the others. Been burned too many times by selecting answer A type answers, and moving on without at least glancing at the others.

I selected A on this one, and then immediately switched to E when I skimmed through the rest. Saved me some points.

@SeanWolfe It is reasonable to assume the smallest daycare is at least the size of the largest families, in general.

Its not a MBT. Assumptions are allowed. The more reasonable the assumption, the less of an issue it is the the hypothesis or support.

You are trying to force an un-reasonable assumption when a more reasonable one is more likely.

I suck at these. I'm so quick to go "age 40-60? that has nothing to do with the argument. ELIMINATE"

When that is precisely why its the answer in a EXCEPT question. The except ones get me like 50%+ of the time...

@TeklaCo B eliminates an alternative hypothesis. Namely that something besides heavy metals in the sewage promotes resistance to antibiotics. It strengthens the correlation between heavy metals and AB resistance.

You can spin this towards ideal experiment if you spin the whole thing to be treated as an experiment, but we weren't really presented with that were we. Just a single microbiologist's opinion on some phenomena.

I didn't even have to waste time on the other answers. Skimmed them maybe, but was able to find a very strong weakness of the study, and move one. Take advantage of that.

@ClarEmile What? You were confused because you knew the answer? Also a STEM major, and also knew intuitively that was one of the flaws with this type of study, so went into hunt mode, found it, and got it done much under time. Don't be afraid to use your outside knowledge. Unless the question painstakingly builds a hypothetical world which differs from ours, then you can absolutely use real-world knowledge to avoid naive assumptions. Its an advantage, not a hinderance.

@Isabella! NOT "proves the stimulus hypothesis wrong". WEAKENS the hypothesis. Maybe the hypothesis is still true, but we have given a valid reason to call it into question. ie, weakend it. So don't rule out an answer options just because it does not definitively rule out the hypothesis.

@MRod Hmm its worse than that. Lets say "emotional strength of argument = outnumbering = program bias" were true. That would make it even more wrong. That would strengthen the conclusion, not weaken it.

Sunday, May 24

@PennJoon2025 Yeah I had C & D both sitting there, but C requires the (admittedly reasonable) assumption that the station really just cares about views, and emotion gets more views. D requires maybe an assumption that the station did NOT fairly distribute interviewees beforehand based on opinion, but an assumption of action compared to disaction would require much more reasonableness to be on par, and I just don't think we have that here. Both are reasonable, and disaction is simpler to assume than explicit action. Never assume malice when incompetence will suffice.

@Super_Cookie my favorite way to eliminate answer options is if I can just say "who cares?" I can cross it off and move on.

I'll be honest, I saw "Most viewers" and moved on. Didnt even read the rest. Why read it. Its asking for us to weaken the conclusion about the station being biased due to the amount of interviews. How would viewers affect any of that? Maybe there's some way, but its not likely and I can come back if nothing else pops out as correct sooner.

I don't know if I recommend doing that, but just sharing how I approach a lot of these.

@DouglasSmith yeah and I also agree its unlikely. Its not a perfect answer. Of all the answers, C & D are most likely even though both have serious issues. But D has much more issues with reasonableness.

I just got to weakening module, and now reading this one all I can do is think of holes to poke in both of these.

But its important to remember what the stem is for this question. Its most supported. Not must be true, not weakening. Just simply. What is most supported, or in otherwords, least unsupported.

@DouglasSmith Did not possess =/= never possessed. If I was a wide receiver, and had a playbook, and knew all my routes well, and then lost the playbook and a year later wrote my own abridged version of it, its likely that I would be able to re-create my own routes very well, and not the rest of the playbook as well. The stim never says I never had access or even ownership temporarily of the playbook, just that I did not have possess a copy of it still.

@DouglasSmith Remember, the author needs to not have had a copy, AND needs to have an abnormally accurate recollection of only a particular character's speech and not the rest of the play.

We don't know what happened. We are judging the reasonableness of assumptions. Even if one thought that it was more likely a spectator did not have a copy of Hamlet than an author did not have a copy, you need to fulfill the other assumption. It is somewhat reasonable to make the first assumption. But it is very far-fetched (un-reasonable) to make the assumption a spectator was able to memorize a particular character's speech so well as to be described as "very accurate" compared to "slipshod" for the rest of the play? This second required assumption is so un-reasonable as to make the slightly greater reasonableness of the first assumption of less relative importance.

@DouglasSmith regardless, I would encourage you to ask “why am I wrong in my reasoning” and not “isn’t this questions wrong”? The LSAT questions are not wrong. Just take that as gospel truth
