The medical reporter claims that most people in industrialized nations would benefit from taking an aspirin a day. This is because aspirin helps with heart disease, which is common in these nations.
The flaw here amounts to missing the key difference between whatβs common and whatβs true of most people. Heart disease may be one of the most common illnesses, but that doesnβt mean that the majority of people suffer from it. Since the conclusion is that aspirin will benefit most people in the nation, merely establishing that the illness it treats is common is not enough to justify it.
