Summarize Argument
The author concludes that the Egyptians must have produced alcohol before anyone else. His basis for doing so is that the oldest trace of alcoholic beverages yet discovered is Egyptian.
Identify and Describe Flaw
The author’s argument is vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that there could be currently undiscovered traces of alcohol that are older than the recently discovered Egyptian cup. An even older trace of alcohol from a different civilization could be discovered tomorrow, which would falsify his conclusion.
