Hello everybody, can anyone explain these questions to me? Thanks

Just looked them up because I thought that was a test I had done. Turns out it's not, but anyway... I don't know how specific I'm allowed to be. If this is what you mean - The answer to 12 is that they only disagree on what they superficially disagree on, whether there should or should not be protection on such species. There's nothing deeper. Neither of them address the logic behind the others. Neither of them dispute the others' facts. They don't disagree over a (obviously) and they don't even disagree over b because even Vogel agrees that there is danger. They don't disagree whether C is true, Vogel doesn't care if they die, because we can just make more. And they certainly don't disagree whether you're not allowed to use genetic research. This question seems difficult to me because usually when they ask for the core disagreement, there's some underlying point. But over here, I can just see Harris and Vogel yelling at each other louder and louder, with neither of them providing any logic either way.

Re: 14 looks complicated; is actually simple. The argument starts by talking about 1% of the world's random luggage. That means, out of 100 scanned pieces with no explosives, one will falsely be positive. Then suddenly, the 1% number is applied to suitcases with actual explosives. The number of false positives cannot possibly extrapolate to the number of real positives; it has to relate to the number of negatives.

I checked these, and they're correct. I hope that i didn't violate board guidelines by going into too much detail.
