Chinh concludes that viewers’ preferences shouldn’t be a factor in TV producers’ creative decisions. As support, Chinh uses an analogy: great painters don’t think about the desires of museum attendees.

As Lana says, Chinh uses an analogy that isn’t analogous enough. Chinh compares the relationship between TV producers and the viewing public with the relationship between great painters and the museum-going public, but the comparison falls short. TV producers may be more directly influenced by audience preferences than painters are by museum visitors.

This is not a circular argument. The premise isn’t just restating the conclusion.

This is descriptively inaccurate. Chinh’s argument doesn’t rely on a sample of consumers.

This is descriptively inaccurate. Chinh’s argument does not make any inferences about the intentions of actions based on the outcomes of the actions.

This is not the issue that Lana has with Chinh’s argument. Chinh explicitly states that great painters don’t consider the desires of the museum-going public, and Lana’s issue with Chinh’s argument is that the analogy is weak, not that Chinh may be wrong about painters.

This is the flaw. As Lana points out, TV producers may be more beholden to the desires of the viewing public than great painters are to the desires of museum-goers.
