HI, Graeme!
Thanks for all you do–this site has been an incredible resource as I review each and every PT/drill question during my self-study routine. I am especially grateful for the way you spell out conditional diagramming.
Question on part of your explanation here. To get us to the conclusion, you note:
“Collective Goals Before Individuals’ ➞ Rapidly Emerge Recession ➞ NOT Substantial New Investment ➞ NOT Rapidly Emerge Recession”
Is this meant to read “Collective Goals Before Individuals’ ➞ NOT People’s Confidence ➞ NOT Substantial New Investment ➞ NOT Rapidly Emerge Recession”?
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Laura
Hi Laura!
Ah yes that looks like a typo, I just forgot to add in the new statement. I will add this to the update list, appreciate it. Thank you for the kind words, glad you like the site!
Whew! It was pretty nerve-wracking suggesting a typo as I’m still working away at mastering conditional-heavy questions. Thanks for responding!
Your “normal human” writing voice is especially helpful–no need to wade through formal/technical nonsense that slows learning.
Cheers,
Laura
