  Why isn't there a centaur version of the unicorn? Or maybe I mean a unicorn version of a centaur?

  SIR: you do not believe in unicorns, so you don't believe in centaurs, either.

  Why would I need to believe in something that I have in my garage?

  Hahah. I swear an LSAT writer was seriously baked when she/he wrote that LSAT question. "Unicorns and Centaurs...of course!"

  I agree that the writers had fun with this, not only with a colorful cast of characters, but also by:
  
  -Using an implicit premise (Does not exist->belief is false) TWICE! Once in the stimulus and once in the correct answer
  -Adding a killer trap answer (E) by paralleling word structure but not logical structure
  -Forcing us to distinguish between not believing and a belief being false
  
  Not sure what amount of time it would take me to get this one under timed conditions.

  AAAAAAAHHHHHH
  
  Can't even believe they pulled this. So much to be learned from this question.

  B and C are BS answers. E Has the conditions reversed, D is subjective ("No good reason...") I get A by elimination. I think it's still a bit unclear how it is correct, but I take it and move on regardless.

  @nicole.hopkins I posted what I thought I said last night on the comments to this question, check it out and let me know if that's how I talked about it.

  We just did this in BR group last night. Not sure if I buy the implicit premise explanation.
