The argument starts with a “some” relationship: many CEOs who earn over $250,000 annually attended prestigious business schools. On that basis, it concludes that a person who attended a prestigious business school must be a CEO who earns over $250,000 each year.
This commits two cookie cutter flaws. First, it confuses the necessary and sufficient conditions: the premise tells us that a lot CEOs earning over $250,000 attended prestigious business schools, but it doesn’t tell us what percentage of people who attended prestigious business schools are CEOs earning over $250,000. We know that Greta went to a prestigious business school, but that doesn’t tell us anything about her likelihood of being a CEO who earns over $250,000! Second, the argument uses a “many” relationship from the premise (”an overwhelming number of”) to support an “all” relationship in the conclusion (”must be”).
