Sheila rejects other’s claims that adding color to a movie originally filmed in black and white damages the integrity of the original film and instead concludes the integrity of these original films is not damaged. As evidence, Sheila points out that nobody argues film adaptations of novels or short stories similarly damage the integrity of the book or story. Just as film adaptations are new works that stand on their own, colorized film is a new work that should be judged on its own merit.

Sheila counters a position held by others. She does this by presenting an analogous argument with an obviously false conclusion: nobody argues we should not create film adaptations because doing so would erode the value of the original story.
