Thank you so much for posting this! I was starting to figure out some of these on my own through sheer volume but you really helped me put words to what I was finding which let me understand so much more strongly.
Love your videos! Thanks for posting.
This is really helpful! I do have a question though, wouldn't three also be confusing necessary and sufficient terms as well? Thanks!

The confusion of sufficient and necessary is a type of flaw that occurs with rule/principle reasoning. This video sets out some general reasoning styles -- but there are specific flaws that are associated with each reasoning style.
Do you offer tutoring still? Looking to find a tutor
