The author argues that it would be unfair to dismiss Louise McBrideβs complaint against a nightclub simply because she used the wrong form. Why is it unfair? Because it was the government agency that gave her the wrong form.
To justify this judgment, we need to bridge the gap between the argument's premise, that the Bureau staff gave McBride the wrong form, and the conclusion that dismissing the complaint for that reason would be unfair. The author doesn't state why the Bureau's mistake would make dismissing the complaint unfair, so that's the gap we need to bridge. Our principle should take us from premise to conclusion by telling us that itβs unfair to dismiss someoneβs complaint because the government, rather than that individual, made a mistake.
