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."
题目讲解
本题要求从题目中找出主要的逻辑错误,也就是Argument题目的提纲,同时每一个逻辑错误准备一套语言套路去反驳。
我们注意到一种保证可以显著减少学校和工作岗位的缺席的革新疗法。一项研究报告说在附近的East Meria,鱼的消费量很高,那里的人们每年因为治感冒而去看医生的次数只有一或两次。显然,吃较大量的鱼可以预防感冒。由于感冒是学校和单位缺席的最常见原因,我们建议每天服用Ichthaid,一种从鱼油中提炼的营养物质,作为预防感冒和减少缺席率的有效措施。
观点提示
作者没有提供充足的证据证明吃鱼能故防治感冒,可能East Meria人体好,或者有什么好习惯
2.作者也没有提供充足的证据证明感冒导致了大多数的缺席:有的人可能是装病;或者误以为感冒
3.其他因素:即便是吃鱼能够防治感冒,也没有证据证明吃从鱼油中提炼出来的Ichthaid也能够防治感冒;此外,Ichthaid是否有其他不好的作用,没有说明。
在该备忘录中,说话人认为West Meria公共健康委员会推荐ichthaid日常使用作为预防感冒和减少旷工的好方法,引用的研究表明在附近的East Meria人拜访医生每年只有一到两次归因于鱼类的高消费治疗感冒。精心考虑,然而,这种说法在逻辑上不可靠的几个方面,因此是荒谬的。乍一看,研究,未能给我们一系列的详细信息,这是非常可疑的。因为参与调查的人的样本丢失,说研究结果比较有代表性的是不公平的。此外,扬声器无法提及的调查组选定的背景,所以出现,大量的人不去看医生时,感冒的可能性,使得研究的结论不可靠。此外,论述者匆忙得出结论,吃大量的鱼可以预防感冒。没有仔细的演绎,演讲者忽略了大量的各种其他可能有助于减少感冒的机会下降的因素。也许是因为在East Meria人们有良好的生活习惯,是预防感冒的有效方法,如喝一瓶开水睡前。或者有一个很好的机会,在East Meria人继续去游泳,晚饭后,他们保持身体健康。所有的所有,说吃大量的鱼是预防感冒的一个直接因素是不公平的。然而,即使上述假设成立,事实上,感冒是最常见的缺课和缺席的原因仍然是值得怀疑的。是最常见的疾病,它是人们喜欢使用感冒是缺席的借口的可能性很大。对于这种欺骗的事实,它是对感冒与学校和工作岗位的缺席的大多数情况下,相关的不安全。最后,作者让一个看似正常的类比的情况在West Meria,East Meria,关于这两方面有很多相同的地方。仔细检查,然而,各种差异被忽视了。首先,在West Meria,建议吃ichthaid是来自鱼油的营养补充。而在East Meria,它仅仅是作为一个整体来食用鱼。此外,存在两个地区人口的平均年龄是不同的可能性。例如,在安逸的居民大多数是老人Meria,容易生病的结果。因此,精心考虑,为论述者得出这样一个不合理的结论旨在说服西方居民有ichthaid Meria日常是不可靠的。得出结论,对论述者使向西方Meria人使用为日常ichthaid减少感冒,减少学校和工作机会推荐旷工是不公平的。加强论点,论述者不仅要给我们一个可靠的调查,同时采取其他可能的因素考虑进去。
