Amar implicitly concludes that Sarah’s recommendation to allow fishers to keep accidentally caught fish should not be implemented. He argues that making this legal would likely lead to more "accidents," implying that fishers would claim that certain fish were caught accidentally just so that they could keep the fish.

Amar responds to Sarah’s argument by pointing out that her suggestion would likely lead to a negative consequence: fishers claiming fish were caught accidentally in order to keep fish they caught illegally.

Amar never questions whether Sarah’s recommendation can practically be implemented. He simply argues that her recommendation would likely bring a negative consequence.

Amar himself uses the term "accidents" to suggest that fishers would falsely claim they caught certain fish by accident. However, Sarah uses "accident" to mean a true accident, and Amar doesn't argue that she uses the term in two different ways.

Amar doesn’t strengthen the case for Sarah’s recommendation, he argues against her recommendation.

Amar argues that Sarah’s recommendation has an important negative consequence: fishers claiming fish were caught accidentally in order to keep fish they caught illegally.

Amar never mentions anything about past policies, he just argues that Sarah’s recommendation would have a negative consequence.
