Support Although withholding information from someone who would find that information painful is sometimes justified, there is no such justification if the person would benefit from having the information. ██████████ ████ ██████ ██ █████ ██ ███████ ███ █████ ██ █████ ████ ███ ██████████ ██ ██████████ ████ ███ █████ ███ █████████ ████ ██████ ███████████ ██████ █████ ██ ████ █████ ███ ███████ ████ ███ ██████████ ███ ██████████ █████ ██████ █████ ██ ███████ ███ ████████████ ███████ ██ ███ █████
Summary
Even if hearing it would be painful, one should not withhold information that would benefit someone else. Jason’s supervisor’s opinion of Jason’s work would improve if Jason knew his supervisor was displeased with his work. Therefore, Jane should tell Jason his supervisor is displeased.
Notable Assumptions
This argument moves from a general principle about telling others things that would benefit them to know to a specific example of such a case. However, it is unclear in the case that Jason would actually benefit in the way the original principle required. While his supervisor would be more pleased with his work, nothing in the argument specifically states that would benefit Jason. There is therefore a necessary assumption that the case would actually match the principle - that Jason would actually benefit.
