You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what additional information might help you better evaluate its conclusion. Note that you are NOT being asked to present your views on the subject.

Question:
The following memo appeared in the newsletter of the West Meria Public Health Council.
"An innovative treatment has come to our attention that promises to significantly reduce absenteeism in our schools and workplaces. A study reports that in nearby East Meria, where fish consumption is very high, people visit the doctor only once or twice per year for the treatment of colds. Clearly, eating a substantial amount of fish can prevent colds. Since colds are the reason most frequently given for absences from school and work, we recommend the daily use of Ichthaid, a nutritional supplement derived from fish oil, as a good way to prevent colds and lower absenteeism."
題目講解
本題要求從題目中找出主要的邏輯錯誤,也就是Argument題目的提綱,同時每一個邏輯錯誤準備一套語言套路去反駁。
我們注意到一種保證可以顯著減少學校和工作崗位的缺席的革新療法。一項研究報告說在附近的East Meria,魚的消費量很高,那里的人們每年因為治感冒而去看醫生的次數只有一或兩次。顯然,吃較大量的魚可以預防感冒。由于感冒是學校和單位缺席的最常見原因,我們建議每天服用Ichthaid,一種從魚油中提煉的營養物質,作為預防感冒和減少缺席率的有效措施。
觀點提示
作者沒有提供充足的證據證明吃魚能故防治感冒,可能East Meria人體好,或者有什么好習慣
2.作者也沒有提供充足的證據證明感冒導致了大多數的缺席:有的人可能是裝病;或者誤以為感冒
3.其他因素:即便是吃魚能夠防治感冒,也沒有證據證明吃從魚油中提煉出來的Ichthaid也能夠防治感冒;此外,Ichthaid是否有其他不好的作用,沒有說明。
在該備忘錄中,說話人認為West Meria公共健康委員會推薦ichthaid日常使用作為預防感冒和減少曠工的好方法,引用的研究表明在附近的East Meria人拜訪醫生每年只有一到兩次歸因于魚類的高消費治療感冒。精心考慮,然而,這種說法在邏輯上不可靠的幾個方面,因此是荒謬的。乍一看,研究,未能給我們一系列的詳細信息,這是非常可疑的。因為參與調查的人的樣本丟失,說研究結果比較有代表性的是不公平的。此外,揚聲器無法提及的調查組選定的背景,所以出現,大量的人不去看醫生時,感冒的可能性,使得研究的結論不可靠。此外,論述者匆忙得出結論,吃大量的魚可以預防感冒。沒有仔細的演繹,演講者忽略了大量的各種其他可能有助于減少感冒的機會下降的因素。也許是因為在East Meria人們有良好的生活習慣,是預防感冒的有效方法,如喝一瓶開水睡前。或者有一個很好的機會,在East Meria人繼續去游泳,晚飯后,他們保持身體健康。所有的所有,說吃大量的魚是預防感冒的一個直接因素是不公平的。然而,即使上述假設成立,事實上,感冒是最常見的缺課和缺席的原因仍然是值得懷疑的。是最常見的疾病,它是人們喜歡使用感冒是缺席的借口的可能性很大。對于這種欺騙的事實,它是對感冒與學校和工作崗位的缺席的大多數情況下,相關的不安全。最后,作者讓一個看似正常的類比的情況在West Meria,East Meria,關于這兩方面有很多相同的地方。仔細檢查,然而,各種差異被忽視了。首先,在West Meria,建議吃ichthaid是來自魚油的營養補充。而在East Meria,它僅僅是作為一個整體來食用魚。此外,存在兩個地區人口的平均年齡是不同的可能性。例如,在安逸的居民大多數是老人Meria,容易生病的結果。因此,精心考慮,為論述者得出這樣一個不合理的結論旨在說服西方居民有ichthaid Meria日常是不可靠的。得出結論,對論述者使向西方Meria人使用為日常ichthaid減少感冒,減少學校和工作機會推薦曠工是不公平的。加強論點,論述者不僅要給我們一個可靠的調查,同時采取其他可能的因素考慮進去。
