Re: The Official September 2014 Study Group
Yea, as I was typing my complaint in the OP I realized that many =/= most (or even a large amount), which is how I had interpreted it while reading. I still think it's absurd that many=some in LSAT terms. If my boss asked if many people were at an event, and I said yes, and he showed up and there were two, then he'd be righteously furious.Jgoods wrote:"The word many indicates "at least some." And it is true that many biologists no longer believe that "all genes are inherited vertically." In lines 51-58 the passage says that the evidence appears to show that some genes can be transmitted horizontally. If some genes are transmitted horizontally, then it's not true that all genes are transmitted vertically.
I know you're focused on the term "many biologists." Remember that this is actually a very weak way of referring to biologists. Two biologists no longer holding this view would be enough. And on line 57, the passage implies that these biologists have accepted the claim that some genes are transmitted horizontally.

Re: The Official September 2014 Study Group
agreed, but unfortunately the LSAT doesn't like to make things easy, with more than many=some, "or" is a bit easier to grasp but can still be a pain, along with other wordsBJS wrote:Yea, as I was typing my complaint in the OP I realized that many =/= most (or even a large amount), which is how I had interpreted it while reading.

Don't b a fuck tard. Basically you were asking "do u think I should prep for anything they could throw at me or shout I just assume this one thing won't happen bc it hasn't happened in the past?" CHELLO my man have u even been studying? It's just like y even try n predict what may or may not b on the test. Just fucking study n to quote from some other threads "stop reading tea leaves."JerryLundegard wrote:I guess I should have realized that actual lsat questions on this thread are forbidden.

What's the flaw in the tard gunner's argument ?
I'm just going to leave it up to you to figure that out BJS. But let's not act like I'm either not studying or am on TLS.

I have prepped them, actually. My point was more should i be wasting any time a week out looking them over...I'm the moron and yet one sarcastic post against you and you go into an ad-hom fit of calling me a 'tard.' Maybe look over flaw questions a bit more, Bill. Good luck with life sir. You may score in the 170's next week but your social intelligence appears to be on par with some of my immature middle school students. Sad.

Re: The Official September 2014 Study Group
Here's how I think of it - If you said 'many' people to refer to 1,000 attendees at an event, you still are only talking about 'some' people not 'most', where people is the entire human population.BJS wrote:Yea, as I was typing my complaint in the OP I realized that many =/= most (or even a large amount), which is how I had interpreted it while reading.

If the total population of objects is very large then you could definitely have a sample of 'many' of the objects that comprises less than half of the population.
Most = >50%
Some = >0%
Many = A number = >0%

Re: The Official September 2014 Study Group
Here's my view on the grammar/diction/spelling on Internet forums: if you're typing on a traditional keyboard, you should obey the general requirements of English. Certainly, there will be mispellings and grammar mistakes. Certainly, there are idioms and acronyms appropriate on an Internet forum that aren't anywhere else. But a forum is nothing like a texting conversation, where the keyboard is limited and the medium is most conducive to rapid exchanges. Typing "n" instead of "and" is questionable at best in a text message, and ludicruous on a forum.BillPackets wrote:The "you misspell words and ignore grammar on an Internet forum" is, and always will be, the dumbest fucking dig possible on an Internet forum.

The way we present ourselves is largely how others perceive us. As smcc alluded to earlier, mispellings and grammar mistakes portray you in a certain light regardless the content of your posts.
In any case: the "tard gunner" had a valid point. We have a limited amount of time remaining to the test, so that time should be spent as economically as possible. If we suppose there's a 2% chance of X appearing on the test, we shouldn't spend 20% of our time studying for it.
