feel that. I got most SA questions wrong on this test because I incorrectly took them as necessary assumption questions. Whoops

Interesting. So it seems that B was introducing a control group - a group of people who didn't ingest mercury. If there wasn't that control group and we assumed that everyone ingested mercury, then suddenly the Beethoven hypothesis loses its weight. With that bad assumption, wouldn't that allow us to hypothesize that everyone had venereal diseases? That's pretty obtuse...

I think I get it! Yes, the less virtuous don't deserve praise - but that doesn't mean that they can't receive praise by the choice of those giving praise. One may not deserve something, but still receive it anyway. There isn't a rule in the prompt that says you shouldn't praise those who don't deserve it.

Not an expert, but I believe it is because "without securing authorization" was kicked into the domain as "no authorization" by JY. This is because the very basis of the stimulus is that when there is no authorization, when exactly is access justified? The author then elaborates on when unauthorized access is justified, which is what the diagraming should be focused on.

That's some tricky wording for answer D... I thought it was saying something entirely different than how JY interpreted it.
