Support Linda says that, as a scientist, she knows that no scientist appreciates poetry. ████ █████ ████ ██████████ ███ ████████ ██ █████ ████ ██ ███ ██████ ███ ██████████ ██████ ███ ██████████
The argument cites a member (Linda) of a group (scientists) to establish a trait shared by all members of the group (they all lack appreciation for poetry). It then identifies another trait that most members of that same group have (most scientists are logical). It then concludes that some people must lack both traits (some illogical people appreciate poetry).
There are two flaws here. First, the argument doesn’t definitively establish that no scientists appreciate poetry—it simply takes Linda’s word for it. Second, it improperly negates a “most” statement. Even if Linda is right, we could only properly infer that people who appreciate poetry are not scientists. We don’t, however, know that those non-scientists must be illogical.
