  Few = Some
  
  So shouldn't the negation of some be "none"??

  @guitarnara Few =/= Some
  
  When All is 100
  Few is 1 to 50
  Some is 1 to 100

  @noobie1
  Because few is "Some AND /Most", the negation of few is "none OR most".
  So the negation of "Few dogs are evil" is "either no dogs are evil or most dogs are evil"
  In the video about "few" JY mentions that the LSAT will rarely focus on the "some" component of "few", and more often focus on the "not most" component. Consequently, the negation is more likely to use "most" rather than "none/no", but they would both be technically correct, as they are connected with an "or" operator.
