Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: Bernard wants to de-platform a speaker with bad ideas to avoid spreading them. Ayla thinks the speaker should be allowed to talk so his ideas can be publicly debunked.

Reasoning: Bernard argues against inviting Carl because it would legitimize false views, while Ayla argues for a public challenge to expose those views as false.

Analysis: The speakers actually agree that Carl's views are false; their disagreement is purely tactical. Bernard believes that giving Carl a platform will help spread his ideas, whereas Ayla believes that the platform will provide the very scrutiny needed to destroy those ideas. Use the 'Agree/Disagree' test: Bernard would agree that the forum helps Carl's views, while Ayla would disagree, arguing the forum actually harms them. Look for an answer choice that captures this conflict over the forum's effect.
