Example of this Flaw

Does anyone have an example of this type of Flaw as an actual LSAT question.

The flaw is something like ~The argument explicitly goes against what author stated previously. Not sure if I'm coming across clearly but if you know what I'm talking about can you direct me to an LSAT questions where this flaw is used.

    Off the top of my head:
    83-1-22 might be kind of what you are looking for.
    Will think on this, if anything comes to mind later I will edit this post.

    Are you talking about a direct contradiction?

    Like: Author states that all bananas are fruit.... then later concludes that it must not be the case that bananas are fruit.

    Look up the lsat question and see if there is an explanation video. Many times JY will say what the flaw is in his explanation. Once you figure out the flaw come back and post it so its easier to find.

    20:1:22 was a tough one, in that it was very subtle. I believe it may speak to the kind of flaw you're referring to.

    *watch the 7sage explanation video of it as well, helped me a lot with understanding it.

    Excellent catch @Nabintou from a problem deep in LSAT archives.
