Typo in the stimulus?

I believe there is a typo in the question stimulus that makes answering the question nearly impossible "is insufficient reason..."? It sounds like a mistype which would cause author's argument to be misconstrued. 32% of the folks got this question right (as opposed to 50% average for level 5 questions.) Am I on to something?

    I'll double check this with the Lsac website, but I'm not sure if that's a typo to say that X is insufficient reason to reject Y. While this isn't good writing by any means (I would put an article there, to read x is AN insufficient reason to reject Y") it does make sense, it just needs a bit of extra parsing. 33 percent isn't out of the ordinary for a hard question, there are usually 1-2 questions per test of that extreme level of difficulty
