Summarize Argument
The advertiser concludes that a user of the VersaTool will need extra tools less often than a user of another multiple-function tool. Why? Because the VersaTool has more functions than any other tool!
Identify and Describe Flaw
The advertiser’s conclusion is exclusively based on how many functions the VersaTool has, not what those functions actually are. This leaves open the possibility that the VersaTool might not have a higher number of commonly needed functions compared to other tools. So, VersaTool users might not need to use other tools less often, if the VersaTool has many rare functions but few common functions.
A
include some functions that are infrequently or never needed
This isn’t relevant to how the VersaTool’s utility compares with other tools. Whether or not the VersaTool has “some” rare functions is still irrelevant to how frequently VersaTool users will need other tools.
B
include a number of functions that are difficult to perform with any tool
Whether the functions are easy or difficult to perform doesn’t have any impact on whether a VersaTool user will need to use additional tools less often than a user of another tool.
C
cost more than the combined cost of two other multiple-function tools that together perform more functions than the VersaTool
The advertiser only makes a claim about the functionality of the VersaTool compared to other tools, not its cost-effectiveness, so this criticism doesn’t affect the argument.
D
be able to perform fewer often-needed functions than some other multiple-function tool
If the VersaTool is able to perform fewer often-needed functions compared to another multi-tool, then the user of the VersaTool will likely need additional tools more often than the user of that other tool, countering the advertiser’s conclusion.
E
not be able to perform individual functions as well as single-function tools
The advertiser isn’t arguing about how well the VersaTool performs its functions compared to other tools. The argument only compares the need for additional tools between users of the VersaTool and users of other multiple-function tools.
