Is 'lean in nitrogen' the opposite of 'rich in hydrogen'?

The conclusion should be understood as "AA must be using...", instead of how I misread it which I thought it was a prescriptive statement as in "AA must use...".

English is my third language, and this misread really got me here...

How can "right-side strokes are more likely than left-side strokes to go undiagnosed" be interpreted as "doctors having bias re: under-diagnosing right-side strokes"? I just don't see the connection here. The former sounds more like a general phenomenon, whereas the latter is specific about doctors' bias.

Premise:

Refrain from attributing → Readers emulate immoral characters

Conclusion:

Refrain from attributing → /Realistic

What we need to do: connect 'Readers emulate immoral characters' to '/Realistic'

We get:

Readers emulate immoral characters → '/Realistic'; or the contrapositive:

Realistic → /Readers emulate immoral characters

My question is, how does this contrapositive form mean the same thing as the correct AC C, which says:

Realistic → All bad people have some attractive qualities

How is '/Readers emulate immoral characters' the same thing as 'All bad people have some attractive qualities'?

What??

Outlier weakening (i.e. Goku-molesting question) where the correct AC attacks a given premise.

For the correct AC A to be correct, doesn't the sufficient condition has to be a conjunctive one?

Helpful AND Not difficult to do so → Laudable

Or, does missing 'Not difficult to do so' not matter since 'Helpful' still triggers 'Laudable'?

AC B states:

If a child under 6 exists in the neighborhood, then the pool must open before noon.

The contrapositive:

If the pool does not open before noon, a child under 6 does not exist in the neighborhood.

What???

Doesn't the contrapositive also have to work?

Convincing people → Goal

Government policies → Goal

Convincing people → Goal → Government policies

Convincing people → Government policies (AC A)

But what if the ratio of a giant eagle that's twice as big as the ostrich is bigger, like 20%? If that's the case, then I don't think AC C is necessarily true?

Underscoring to the U.S. government = Induced the U.S. government to address segregation???????

Damn. There are only two possibilities. If not one, it must be the other.

Would it be correct to notate "Every LA that has AA" as "LA ←s→ AA", instead of how JY put it "LA and AA"?

How is "do not resume" mean the same thing as "permanent"? Life functions could have just stopped for a while and they just come back?

Just because there are thousands of others who can replace your job, it doesn't necessarily mean that those other people (i.e. non family/friends) are not in need of you? Meaning, it is possible that you could still feel needed by those other people. No?

What role does 'utmost respect' play in the stimulus? This threw me off as I read it as the opposite attitude, assuming respect = certainty (rather than doubt). JY doesn't mention anything about this respect piece. Any thoughts?

AC E resolves only one side of the conflict - the reason why it's less feasible to gather food in shore environments. However, it does not answer as to why human brain's evolution took place in savanna and woodland areas.

Thought the correct AC for RRE questions has to resolve issues for both sides?

How can we infer from the stimulus that fMRI DOES NOT necessarily have label or records linked to a patient? Maybe fMRI, just like genetic profile, can be linked to a patient only by label or records? The stimulus is silent on this, so it could one or the other.

All we can know from the stimulus is that in terms of the information contained, genetic profile and fMRI are the same, in that they contain similar/same type of information (e.g. information that patients want to keep private, the skull information). Hence, I thought, ok, perhaps the same label/records condition that apply to generic profile also applies to fMRI.

So, I thought D would be the correct AC.

DO NOT GET LOST OF TRACKING ALL FACTS GIVEN!

Totally forgot about the greater risk factor when going through the ACs.

For #18, isn't JY's interpretation/mapping of what biological species is a necessity/sufficiency confusion? All the passage states is that biological species do not interbreed and therefore they are distinct species. (Interbreed → Distinct).

But this condition yields nothing about Interbreeding (failing the original sufficient condition)?

What threw me off for AC D was 'users of statistics', which is clearly different from 'students of statistics' (which this argument is about). Is this not something that we should worry about in such questions?

What if schools in the surrounding region of Granville also changed their start time to 8:30 am? Wouldn't that weaken the conclusion?

In other words, how do we know whether the schools in the surrounding region of Granville changed their start time to 8:30 or not? Do we just assume that they DIDN'T?

"Many people agree that A → B"

DOES NOT MEAN

"A → B"

Big lesson learned.
