LSAC f**ked up on PT1-S3-Q2

The stimulus—and the credited response—has the following structure:

A --> ~B
~B --> A


The question is a parallel question. But notice that the reasoning above is invalid (i.e. flawed). The question should be a parallel flaw question; not a parallel question.

No. Back then they didn't tell you if it was flawed or not (or didn't always tell you).

By saying 'no' to the OP, you are committed to the position that "LSAC did not fuck up. The question is not inaccurate."

You must be too stupid to realize that said position is consistent with accepting the invalid (i.e. flawed) reasoning in the OP as valid reasoning.

All the women my age are dating older men. If I get married it would be to a 20 year old when I'm 40.

Jtard did you change your username? Between you and seoulless both with new usernames this is really a massively confusing thread

but no I didn't know this fine specimen yet but I'll be sure to pay attention from here on out

ETA: I petitioned slack for a username change the other day as well but he was not having it unfortunately

I have real reasons as well! I mean unless you think that "it would be funny" is not a real reason to change my username to Seoulless

The question is not inaccurate. LSAC presently deciding to give more information in a question stem is mutually exclusive to the amount of information they chose to give in past LSATs. The task is to find the parallel reasoning...congratulations on being smart enough to figure it out! :roll:

A parallel flaw question is a type of parallel reasoning question.

Invalid statements cannot be considered reasoning alone--that is an abuse of language. If a statement is invalid, you must use "flawed" to modify "reasononing" which is equivalent to: "A statement that is invalid."

No you don't. Just stop. You're embarrassing yourself. Parallel reasoning is parallel reasoning whether it is flawed or not.
