Hello! Wanted to know if anyone had PT questions for some common flaws that I can watch? I'm looking for a necessary/sufficiency confusion and correlation/causation so I can see the two flaws back to back. Thanks:)

    I found these from problem sets 1 and 3: PT27, S4, Q10 and PT18, S4, Q09!

    At one point I tried to make a list, but I realized there is at least one sufficiency-neccesity confusion per PT :joy:

    Here is a (very partial) list of sufficiency-neccesity confusion errors:
    PT17.S2.Q11(β˜…); PT22.S4.Q21(β˜…β˜…β˜…); PT23.S2.Q19(β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…); PT23.S3.Q17(β˜…β˜…); PT24.S2.Q23 (β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…); PT30.S4.Q14 (β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…); PTJ07.S3.Q25 (β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…); PT64.S1.Q24 (β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…); PT67.S2.Q09 (β˜…β˜…); PT68.S3.Q21 (β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…); PT79.S1.Q15(β˜…β˜…β˜…)

    I just searched my notes, and it looks like I've done at least 60 correlation-causation flaw questions.... :worried: I don't have time to make a list now but something like PT30.S2.Q25 (β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…) may be a good question to review.
