63. The following appeared as part of an article in the business section of a local newspaper. The Cumquat Caf made a mistake in moving to a new location. After one year at the new spot, it is doing about the same volume of business as before, but the owners of the RoboWrench plumbing supply wholesale outlet that took over its old location are apparently doing better: RoboWrench is planning to open a store in a neighboring city. Discuss how well reasoned... etc. 地方报纸的商业版: Cumquat咖啡店搬到新地址是个错误。到新址的一年以后,它的营业额和以前基本一样。但在它的原址开业的提供铅管批发出口的Robo Wrench的店主显然做的更好。Robo Wrench正计划在临近城市开一家店。 1. False analogy 2. Other factors other than location that may contribute to the faliure of the Cumquat Cafe should be considered and ruled out. 3. Likewise, there may be some other factors that will explain the success of the success of the RoboWrench plumbing. 4. One years poor performance is too wake an evidence to conclude that the Cafe has made a mistake to relocate. According to this newspaper article, the Cumquat Cafe made a mistake by relocating one year ago. The author supports this claim by pointing out that Cumquat is doing about the same volume of business as before it moved, while RoboWrench plumbing supply outlet, which took over Cumquats old location, is apparently doing better because its owners plan to open a new outlet in a nearby city. This argument suffers from several critical flaws. |
