Summary
When advising a landlord on which of two equally-priced AC units to buy, the salesperson recommends one that meets the landlord’s minimum power requirements rather than the more powerful option.
Notable Assumptions
The only distinction established by the salesperson between the two AC units is that the Sno-Queen is excessively powerful whereas the Freezall is sufficient for the landlord’s needs. So she assumes that, when the items’ prices are the same, it’s better to avoid using an excessively powerful product and instead choose one that simply meets one’s needs.
The salesperson’s advice conforms to the principle that, when the prices are equal, one should choose a product with less power as long as it meets one’s needs.
