In LR bible, I read that in lsats, unlike in reality, if a cause is provided, it can be considered as an ONLY cause of the mentioned effect. And I am really confused with this.
For example,
"The school principal insisted that student failures are caused by bad teaching."
Can I safely conclude that bad teaching is the only cause of student failures?
Or am I supposed to conclude that The school principal thinks that bad teaching is the only cause of student failures?
Also, as it is supposed to be the only cause, if A is mentioned as a cause of B, does that mean A is a necessary assumption for B?
Thank you.
