QUESTION TYPE: Flawed Reasoning
CONCLUSION: The bill ought not to be passed.
REASONING: Though it is popular, it has mainly negative economic consequences.
ANALYSIS: Perhaps there is some other reason to pass the environmental bill, apart from the economics?
___________
- The activist only believes that legislators should emulate great leaders. It doesn’t matter whether legislators actually are great.
- The activist actually seems worried the bill will pass even though it has negative consequences.
- CORRECT. Yes. Why is the bill being passed in the first place, and why is it popular? Economics is not the only relevant measure.
- It’s common knowledge (and thus a warranted assumption) that legislators consider economic impacts. Arguments don’t need to state every single assumption.
- The activist is not making such a general argument. Their conclusion is restricted to this specific bill.
