The author concludes that the TV networkβs ad for the new medical drama will not be as effective at attracting viewers likely to continue watching as would the ad that the programβs producers favored.
What makes the author think this?
Because the TV networkβs ad grossly misrepresents what the program is like.
In addition, people who tune into the first episode based on false expectations will be unlikely to watch later episodes.
Notice that the conclusion asserts a comparison between the TV networkβs ad and the ad that the programβs producers favored. But the premises donβt say anything about the ad that the programβs producers favored. Thatβs the signal to us that the author is making an assumption about the ad that the programβs producers favored.
Specifically, the author assumes that the ad the programβs producers favored does not suffer from the same problem that the TV networkβs ad suffered from. In other words, the author assumes that the ad the programβs producers favored does NOT grossly misrepresent what the program is like.
The author also assumes that the ad the programβs producers favored will not be as likely to create create false expectations among the first episodeβs viewers as will the the TV networkβs ad.
