Hi, friend, i really dont think both of our discussion are waste of time here. These ideas are actually helpful for everyone who want to catch the insight of CR. Sorry for my former inadvertent expression, i retrieve it now. However, i still insist that your recommendation is somehow counter-productive in many cases. The reason is simple. For all of the CR questions, in my view, 80% of them are quite easy and cannot set any problem for most of people as long as they can comprehend the ariticle properly and have a basic grasping on reasoning principles. In fact, what really matters is the remaining 20% of questions. These questions finally make the difference between the scores 700-750 or 750-800. For your recommended technique, personally i think people can solve the 80% questions without it. On the contrary, people will fall into the tricky trap much easier when they cultivate the habit of prethinking in cracking the 20% of questions. At least, i have ever made a reservoir of such mistakes in LSAT. The question i explained in another topic in this room about new music funs' preference between live performence and recorded music is very illustrative and classical example. If you have interest, you can see that question and take a moment to think whether your prethinking way is applicable in such a situation.
Finally, i really appreciate your unselfish spirit in the gruelling work of summarizing your ideas and of adverting them to others. Without your 抛砖引玉,we have no such a valuable chance to explore the deeper side of CR. Sincerely, i wish this wonderful opportunity will lead both of us into a better understaning about logic reasoning. I really enjoy the discussion with you and wish you good luck, my friend!
