Durth concludes that the use of direct mail advertising by businesses is annoying and immoral. Durth supports this position with the claim that most direct mail advertisements are thrown out and not read, resulting in wasted paper. Additionally, it would be considered immoral for anyone else to waste this amount of paper.

Durth justifies a response in a particular situation by claiming that the same response would be expected in analogous situations. Specifically, if wasting of a lot of paper would be considered immoral in any other context, then direct mail advertising should also be considered immoral because it wastes a lot of paper.

Durth doesn’t argue against any claims that direct mail advertising is not immoral. Durth directly and independently claims that direct mail advertising is immoral.

Durth does not claim that there would be undesirable consequences if direct mail advertising were to become more widespread. Rather, Durth argues that the current undesirable consequences of direct mail advertising are unacceptable.

Durth claims that direct mail advertising is immoral because the paper waste caused by direct mail advertising would be deemed immoral in any other context.

Durth doesn’t base a conclusion on the claim that direct mail advertising is annoying to those who receive it. Durth’s conclusion is based on the claim that in other contexts, a similar level of paper waste would be considered immoral.

The discussion of advertising methods is only context in the argument, and does not serve as part of Durth’s reasoning—it doesn’t help us get to the conclusion.
