I had it right but switched to D on blind review because I thought, "oh this is the analogy lesson so I should probably attack the analogy." :(
What's tough about this is I blew the target time by 60 seconds. The second I read E I knew it was instantly correct, but eliminating the wrong answers took too long
Am I tripping or did he flip the value symbol when explaining answer choice D?
Saying group S is no more likely should mean "equal to or LESS likely" than group ~S.
I understand his point, and it doesn't change the way that D is an irrelevant wrong answer choice but I just want to confirm that is the case, and also make sure that I'm not taking crazy pills :D
There are literally greater than and less than symbols, yet I find myself using the little arrows just like you :P
E was Sooooo tempting. That comparative grammar lesson saved me!
3 the comparison is so obvious, yet somehow hard to actually put in words
I initially skipped this whole part of the course because I figured: Grammar, piece of cake. Now I'm coming back to it because wow is this important. A lot of issues I've had came from getting hung up on, or not recognizing subtle differences in the modifiers.
Bro really said for the lols. Love it! Best course ever
Question 2:
Jeff must kill Brian or Rob:
Because the word "either" is not present, would that not allow the possibility that he kills BOTH of them? In other words, if I say, "I'm going to go to the gym or practice piano." I would not generally think that what I am saying excludes the possibility of me doing both. If that was my intention I would say, "I'm either going to go to the gym or practice piano."
I realize that the logic on this test is not always reflective of our learned understanding of language, but am I missing something here?
Love the breaking bad reference!
I picked A under time because I recognized the shape, but what concerns me is I wasn't able to figure out why the original statements were flawed. The wealth vs income distinction seemed valid and I completely missed the most objective vs solely issue. I hope that's not bad. Not a good a feeling
I completely overlooked the All vs Individual thing, but I picked A in 45 seconds and confirmed on blind review.
I just made a simpler rule:
Paleowhatever → Familiar ; X person is Familiar therefore Paleowhatever
A → B
B → A
Is this bad? Are there answers where you need to distinguish the individual? What was shown in the lesson seemed very excessive.
This is the first dichotamy question I've seen so it got me :(
I know it's included on the list of flaw types but it would be cool if they had one question like this in the lesson.

Are there correct answers where the answer is presented as it's contra-positive?
In other words answer choice C could be written as: It is not the case that journalism is good if it does not provide accurate information or is not of interest to the public.
E felt tempting in that respect, but I am following everything you're saying
