I'm in a bar in the S.F. Bay area, so of course my game isn't the one playing on the speakers. But I am enjoying all these 1st downs!

Whoo-hoo! Let's go!

But that doesn't mean you should just reject it out of hand! Sometimes, albeit rarely, it's exactly what the argument did. Just be careful about that answer choice. Be skeptical when you read it, especially when it isn't what you predicted. And rethink that prediction if that's what you think it is.

Too many students leap at the overgeneralization answer on reflex, as if every argument is bad because the conclusion is too general. Don't make that mistake. There's usually something else wrong with the argument, and it isn't actually generalizing at all.

This is frequently confused for a part-to-whole flaw, where the evidence is about all the parts and the conclusion is about the group as a whole. All the members of a group are good, so it must be a good group, etc. That's not an overgeneralization.

I hang out in just one subreddit, and literally nobody is talking about Bluesky or X. They just all hate LSAC and want an inexpensive tutor.

Very snobby institution. No President has ever spoken at their commencement. No Supreme Court Justice has been invited to speak to the student body. They don't even allow visitors to sit in on their classes!

Very exclusive, extremely hard to get into. I've had dozens of students admitted to Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, Chicago, etc., none of whom even got a response from Princeton.

Interesting! That's the opposite of what someone once told me. The only Bubba I've ever known personally was the second child in his family, so I figured that matched my understanding and had to be correct.
