Ruth concludes that Jorge is “absurd” to claim that Ruth will be unable to write well about music created while she was a baby. To support her position, Ruth draws an analogy to modern authors who write well about ancient historical eras long before the authors were born.

Ruth counters Jorge’s argument by analogizing with a similar case where Jorge’s reasoning clearly doesn’t hold up. By showing that Jorge’s reasoning doesn’t work in the analogous case, Ruth undermines its application to her own case.

Ruth simply doesn’t make this claim. Her point is that it doesn’t matter that she was an infant during the 1960s.

Ruth never offers a definition of popular culture, nor does Jorge discuss popular culture at all.

Ruth doesn’t mention trying to legitimize contemporary culture—she does use classical culture as an example, but it’s to demonstrate that people can write well about a culture they weren’t part of.

Ruth offers an analogy with authors writing about ancient Roman culture, in order to counter Jorge’s assumption that people can’t write well about a culture they weren’t part of. This is how she concludes that Jorge’s argument is “absurd.”

Ruth never discusses Jorge’s qualifications, to judge popular culture or to do anything else. Not to mention, Jorge doesn’t actually make any judgments about popular culture.
