at least some means SOME(=at least one) OR ALL.
Hi GMATGuruNY,
Thanks for confirming.

On the basis of the above understanding, my concern is:
As we've discussed earlier in this thread, Option A of the CR at hand (re Hollywood Restaurant) can be eliminated because "Information about one celebrity is insufficient to weaken the conclusion" since some = at least one.

For the similar LOGIC in BLUE, how we can consider the Option A of this CR (https://www.beatthegmat.com/a-proposed-c ... 92755.html) to be the CORRECT answer ? Here also, some = at least one concept should be applied similarly as in the 1st CR!

Where's the catch ?
Answer choices with some or its equivalent are to be avoided in strengthen, weaken, evaluate and flaw CRs.
This line of reasoning does NOT apply to OTHER types of CRs, such as the assumption CR posted at https://www.beatthegmat.com/a-proposed-c ... 92755.html.
Private tutor exclusively for the GMAT and GRE, with over 20 years of experience.
Followed here and elsewhere by over 1900 test-takers.
I have worked with students based in the US, Australia, Taiwan, China, Tajikistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia -- a long list of countries.
My students have been admitted to HBS, CBS, Tuck, Yale, Stern, Fuqua -- a long list of top programs.

As a tutor, I don't simply teach you how I would approach problems.
I unlock the best way for YOU to solve problems.

@GMATGuruNY - Is this ALWAYS followed in GMAT CR ? Or it's mostly/generally applicable in GMAT CR ?
