The reason why I chose C is because I thought the critic was ignoring his own reasoning.

Critic's conclusion is "your prediction is wrong because recession didn't happen" and his reasoning is "You said if policy not changed, recession will happen"

critic kind of just ignored the sufficient of the conditional and straight up said "the necessary condition did not happen"

i thought that's what "mutually inconsistent" means. i did not think of it as the critic contradicting himself.

B) "top priority" is not the same as "as high priority as"

we dont know whether customer satisfaction is a top priority for the CEOs. they just seem to consider both employees and customer satisfaction to be on the same level.

p - stat of top companies said 'employee happiness is same priortiy as customer happiness'

c - top companies do not behave indifferently to their employees. (others belief is false)

D) makes a conclusion set in reality, based on a claim set in belief (the CEOs beliefs)

the CEOs believe they are satisfying employee needs. But the author cannot make a claim about the reality of the employees based on these CEOs beliefs.

flaw: belief =/= reality.

right now i don't think there is a feature that shows it explicitly like how things are under the Priorities section. However if you go to 'Questions' and play around with the filters, like by "tag" and "number of takes" and put 'number of takes as 2+" it shows you the questions you took, for a specific tag like "causal reasoning' and the 2+ times you took those questions. It shows you whether you got it wrong and right.

But if you want to keep track i think there's a way -- first you save a copy of your current view of your Priorities page, where Your accuracy is shown in percentage. And then once you feel like you're improving, go back to to priorities page and do the same thing. your accuracy percentage should have improved. You'll just be recording the time spent improving manually and not from 7sage.

Flaw has to be my favorite type of question so far! but lord knows i'm not great at it lol. not yet, anyways

unrelated but also related -

if there's someone who's good at probability, pls do explain how the probability is 18.5%? figured i would learn some probability too in between all this

sorry if this is a dumb question, but i dont understand the phrasing of the correct answer D. if anyone can help, i'd appreciate it!

so, the flaw is generalizing from a subset to a superset.

goes from saying "subset has more of small studies with dramatic findings" to "superset is more likely to have small studies with dramatic findings"

right?

my question is, why is it not an "assumes, without warrant, that there are more small studies than large studies in the superset"?

the answer choice is an "overlooks the possibility there's more small studies than large studies in the superset"

i feel like rolanda can be blamed for thinking that the yard is bigger, when she knows the property lines start 20ft from the sidewalk lol. could argue she was looking at a smaller house. how else did she think the yard was bigger?

poor tom got the scolding. all he was doing was pointing out the rule.

i understood that the flaw is "just because you have met the necessary condition, does not mean that you have the sufficient condition"

but i didn't understand how that is the same as "fails to consider there are other necessary conditions for life",

helps me to think in sets:

if you have subset life, then you have superset water.

you are in the superset water

therefore, you are in the subset life.

wrong logic.

flaw: fails to consider... there are conditions, other than water/in addition to water, that is necessary (still in superset) for you to be in the subset life.

does any one else practice rephrasing "assumes, without warrant..." that does not have a negative word in the sentence into a "fails to consider.. "?' sentence

like this one is a "fails to consider.." with no negative terms and the "assumes, without warrant.." has negative term 'will not'

unrelated but could someone pls let me know how to get to the Blind review page on these 'You try' lessons on the new 7sage site
