Anyone vs. Everyone

edited June 2021 in Logical Reasoning 12 karma

Is anyone and everyone considered the same thing in the LSAT?

For example, if I say anyone who has X should do Y. Is that the same as saying everyone who has X should do Y? I feel like we treat them very similar despite the fact that they feel quite different.

    They are quite different in language absolutely but for the purposes of conditionality, they go in the same direction.

    If I say "Everyone/Anyone who plays in the NBA must have trained hard," then it would still "Play NBA --> Trained hard." So "If X, then Y" still applies.

    They work they same way for conditional language but for language usage, totally different. But LSAT cares about conditionality so I wouldn't worry too much about the difference in meaning.
