Girl Named Sue Argument
I understand why it is a flawed argument, because the premise is false. Will there be arguments like that in the lsat? Where based on the premises the conclusion is true, so it is a valid argument, but it technically is actually a flawed argument, because the premises are not true? My worry is that I may not realize that the premise(s) are actually not true.
I hope this make sense!

I think he used the snow example to say, yes, an argument with a flawed premise is a flawed argument, but he said that will not be what they are testing you on because it's too easy. It's too easy to say haha that premise isn't true... the skill is seeing true premise true premise NOT logical conclusion etc. my 2 cents
