Q12

[xjiang.xj]

I am trying to categorize the flaw in the stimulus. What type of general flaw is it under the context of LSAT common flaws? I think it is kind of like "action ≠ result" type. But I would like to see how the LSAT experts here analyze it.

You're asking about Q12 from section 3, about burying nuclear waste underneath a mountain?

[xjiang.xj]

Yes, the nuclear waste one.

I would not personally categorize it as any common flaw.

On a Str/Weak question, I'm anticipating we may see Causality or Comparisons/Analogies, but that's about it.

Otherwise, I'm just reacting to the specific argument, unless some pattern recognition sensor is triggered.

This seems like a pretty reasonable argument. The only objection I considered was something similar to (E) ... "is there a way to place the storage facility under the mountain WHILE investigating?"

In the end, (B) seems like a "intent ≠ result" type idea. But I wouldn't think about this question like, "Darn, I should have seen that coming."
