The author concludes that the Ministry of Health should not issue scientific assessments that relate to health issues.
Why does the author believe this?
Because currently, the Ministry of the Environment issues these assessments, and these assessments are often inaccurate due to political pressure on that ministry.
The Ministry of Health will also be subject to political pressures.
The conclusion asserts that the Ministry of Health βshould notβ issue the scientific assessments. But we have no premises telling us what the ministry βshould notβ issue. We want to connect the premises to the idea that the ministry βshould notβ issue the scientific assessment. For example:
If a previous ministry issued scientific assessments that were often inaccurate due to a certain cause, then if a new ministry is also subject to that cause, it should not issue assessments.
or
If a new ministry is at risk of producing inaccurate scientific assessments, then it should not issue scientific assessments.
Letβs keep an open mind. The correct answer may not sound exactly like the examples above.
