Claude, a baptist teenager, reads a flawed study showing that baptists are smarter than most people. then he reads a second study with similar flaws proposing that baptists are poor leaders. what would you predict will happen?

The fact that since the first study is something favorable to the reader, the reader will be more likely to overlook its flaws and trust the study than the second one. The analysis offers no basis to define the intelligence of Baptists as superior. The analysis also contradicts itself when it says that Baptists are poor in the ability to lead.

The next thing the I can predict would happen is the Claude would now realize that the Baptist are having both poor and smart leaders. Based on the first study he conducted, Baptist are smarter than most people therefore their leader should be smarter that the most leaders. And in the second study, the he found out that Baptist leader are poor.
