Summary

The executive says that marketing herbal tinctures would not actually add to the company’s profits. Why not? Because members of the advisory staff, as well as reputable medical publications, claim that herbal tinctures are ineffective.

Notable Assumptions

The executive assumes that marketing herbal tinctures which are known to be ineffective would not end up adding to the company’s profits. That’s the only way to get from claims about herbal tinctures being ineffective to a conclusion that marketing herbal tinctures won’t be profitable.
