Impressions : 1) You have a good idea of what you need to look for w.r.t flaws. And if you did this in 30 minutes then you're on the right track w.r.t length ! :) 2) Conclusion is too long ! That content should have gone to the other paras 3) Re-state the specific argument that you will be refuting ...

With the current information, you could have infinite no of atleast 2 disciples distributed on 200-500 lists. Statement 2: nC2=28 => n!/(n-2)!2! = 28 => n(n-1)=56 => n^2-n-56=0 => n^2-8n+7n-56=0 => ...
