⚖️ LSAT Exam Prep

"Every successful startup had a passionate founder. Tom is passionate. Therefore, Tom's startup will succeed." This commits:

A Affirming the consequent and survivorship bias
B Appeal to authority
C Straw man
D Red herring

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

Many passionate founders fail (survivorship bias). Passion is correlated with success in the sample but is neither sufficient nor the only factor.
