PT130 · S4 · Q19 Anyone who believes in democracy

Since this answer doesn't talk about the thing we need to hear about (not having high regard for the wisdom of the masses), we can skim by it. It's basically taking two things we know about Griley (elitist / dubious of popular art) and making a pointless conditional connection between them. This has no power to convince us that Griley doesn't have high regard for the wisdom of the masses.

We would have loved a rule that said "if you are elitist, then you don't have high regard" But this says, "if you're not elitist, then you do have high regard" Griley is an elitist, so this answer's rule doesn't apply to him. Thus it goes nowhere and does nothing for us.

We would have loved an answer that said: "If elitist who is dubious of popular art, then doesn't have high regard". But this is a reversal: "if doesn't have high regard, then elitist who is dubious of popular art". We don't know whether Griley lacks high regard for the wisdom of the masses (that's what we want an answer choice to tell us!) So since we don't know whether the trigger of this rule applies to Griley, this goes nowhere and does nothing for us.

This just provides a reversal of the first sentence. The first sentence said "believe in democracy → high regard" This says "high regard → believe in democracy" We never want an answer choice on Necessary or Sufficient Assumption to look like a rewording of one individual claim. That's not how correct answers work; that's how trap answers work when they're just distorting the meaning of that claim. This rule has no power to prove that someone doesn't believe in democracy, so it is useless for our purposes. It can only prove that someone does believe in democracy.
