Trap Four: The Flattened Option
Captions available
The idea
Where a passage holds two attitudes in tension, one option will name only the more obvious one. It is not false, merely incomplete, and incomplete loses to the option that accounts for both. Unit one's rule that an answer must be pointable on the page applies here too.
In practice
Incomplete loses to complete.
Where people slip
Not false is not sufficient.
