1、The major problem with the argument is that the stated similarities between Company A and B are insufficient to support the conclusion that Company A will suffer a fate similar to Company Bs. 2、Consequently, the mere fact that Company A holds a large share of the videogame hardware and software market does not support the claim that Company A will also fail. 3、Thus, the author unfairly assumes that highlyrated public television programs are necessarily widely viewed, or popular. 4、While this may be true in some cases, it is equally possible that only companies with products that are already bestsellers can afford the higher ad rates that popular shows demand. 5、Admittedly, the vice presidents reasoning linking employee benefits with company profits seems reasonable on the surface. 6、One can infer from the surveys results that a full onethird of the respondents may have viewed the current benefits package unfavorably. 7、Lacking more specific information about how these other employees responded, it is impossible to assess the reliability of the surveys results or to make an informed recommendation. 8、It is unlikely that the brief oneweek periods under comparison are representative of longer time periods. 9、If so, even though 3 percent more accidents occurred after the change, the authors argument that changing the speed limit increases danger for drivers would be seriously weakened. |
