@ScottWlaschin @etorreborre @psnively @rickasaurus WST exploits tendency to conflate equivalence and implication. Abstraction is irrelevant.

@dibblego @ScottWlaschin @psnively @rickasaurus how does that explain the experiment?

@etorreborre @ScottWlaschin @psnively @rickasaurus The proposition is improperly contraposed leading to the common incorrect answer.

@dibblego @etorreborre @rickasaurus Yeah I dont think that test is about abstraction, 'D' is just as specific as 'Beer'

@dibblego @etorreborre @rickasaurus If anything it cements the point that specific examples that the audience can relate to...

@dibblego @etorreborre @rickasaurus are insufficient in terms of teaching general concepts

@dom_dere @etorreborre @rickasaurus I assume you've met the student that tells you that specific examples help him/her? He/she is lying.

@dibblego @dom_dere @etorreborre @rickasaurus Did you need to learn set theory in order to learn to count?
