Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis

Aiesha rejects Adam’s claim that marking road edges with reflecting posts will decrease the number of road accidents. As evidence, Aiesha points out that drivers speed and drive closer to a road’s edges when roads are marked with reflecting posts. Moreover, these are the driving behaviors that cause road accidents.

Describe Method of Reasoning

Aiesha counters the position held by Adam. She does this by presenting an additional consideration that weakens an assumption underlying Adam’s argument. Just because roads can enable drivers to drive more safely does not mean those drivers will in fact drive more safely.
