The argument concludes that it’s ill founded to call Linsey a bad songwriter because her lyrics are disjointed and subjective. Why? Because many modern novelists write in a way that is disjointed and subjective, but are considered to be good writers.

The argument defends Linsey based on an analogy between her songwriting and the writing of modern novelists. For this analogy to make sense, the argument must assume that songwriting and modern novels are relevantly analogous—that this writing style has a similar effect in both types of writing.

In other words, modern novels and songwriting are relevantly analogous when considering this writing style. This is the only way that modern novels can provide any insight into the quality of Linsey’s songwriting, making it a necessary assumption.

This just doesn’t make any difference—we already know that these novelists are “widely held” to be good writers, so whether some people don’t like them isn’t relevant, much less necessary.

The argument never brings up the idea of narrative structure as a way to assess the quality of songwriting, so this is irrelevant.

The argument is only focused on song lyrics and novels, so whether or not this writing style is suitable for other works makes no difference.

The argument only talks about Linsey’s merit as a songwriter, so it’s irrelevant to say whether her songwriting or her musical form is more important.
