This is not fair to put in the lesson of MSS when we haven't had the logical lesson yet....

UGHHHHHH SO FRUSTRATING

The english of answer choice B got me. I didn't realize that if diseases can be "results from" their symptoms? I thought you have the disease and because of this, then resulting is the symptoms. But I see the error in this. I was able to quickly eliminate C-E and was determining between A and B. Chose wrong on this one but glad to understand my mistake. Thanks JY!

I answered E and the explanation for why it is wrong was pretty weak. I see now why C is right, but I want more reasoning as to why E is clearly wrong. Other than posing some hypothetical that I don't understand astrophysics? But the prompt is in astrophysics so why wouldn't i understand it? I don't like the reasoning...

let's all be aware that this is a pretty bullshit question.

"It's like if you're a doctor worrying about a hangnail when your patient is hemorrhaging" VIDEO IMMEDIATELY ENDS LOL

It seems like once these circular logics are established, answers have to be within the circle. You shouldn't interpolate anything from them.

This is so annoying. I identified the context word "Although" but thought that it meant that the part stating "Humans' emotional tendencies are essentially unchanged from those...." was the context. I'm realizing that from the advanced context lesson that it all depends on the comma placement. UGH

Now I realize that in this format, the word "although" is introducing context AFTER the word, not before.

Where do I assume causation exactly? By pointing to an unfair advantage I'm merely pointing to an objective outcome and judging the merit of that outcome. I'm not even really speculating about causation. One simple question: Would this group receive the scores they do without the extra time? I can say with high degree of certainty that no, the group probably wouldn't. Moreover, these scores are objectively better outcomes, which constitutes an advantaged position. Therefore, extra time contributes to an advantage over the normal population. Never claimed this was the sole factor.

If you want, I could design an experiment where (a) people were tested under normal conditions and (b) people were given more time. I can guarantee I could create a predictive model that uses time as one of the primary inputs. I just thought for the sake of argument we could assume this to be the case.

Anyways, didn't mean to create a big debate over this, and I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone. I believe that people should seek accommodations if they believe/know they need them. But, I also think that out of respect for those individuals and everyone who takes the LSAT, we should take gaming of accommodations seriously. It does happen.

To jump in, I think saying you "didn't mean to offend anyone" is a cop-out. It's like saying "I don't mean this to be rude but..."

You obviously struck a nerve with someone and you can either choose to apologize or not. Or choose to remain defensive of your point.

Also, this is a LSAT forum. I'm actually shocked you didn't expect there to be a debate.

You can either decide to not take a position, or when you do, and ruffle up some feathers, I think you have to stand by your word and take responsibility for what has been said - even over the internet. Hello it's 2017.

All, I wanted to share a helpful link to an actual 7sage thread (stumbled upon this as I was reading the forum rules to check myself if I was being "nice" or not)
