Re: Q22 - It is an absurd idea

Well, you can tell they're not ALL valid, since the previous post said this one isn't logically valid. :)

Most of the arguments in Match the Reasoning are valid. The remaining ones are pretty darn reasonable.

There's only been one example ever of a Match the Reasoning question stem that went with a clearly-flawed argument (and the correct answer leaned on us understanding the flaw).

So my policy with Match the Reasoning is
1. assume it's probably a decent, if not valid, argument.
2. focus on how it works, not how it's flawed
(3. retain a 1% chance in the back of your mind that they might actually give us a flawed argument and test the flaw)

p.s. here's that one exceptional example
