Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis
The author concludes that a dislike of vegetables is sometimes caused by genetics. This is based on a study involving two large, divers groups of volunteers. Everyone in one group enjoyed eating vegetables, while everyone in the other group disliked vegetables. Everyone in the group that disliked vegetables had the XRV2G gene.
Identify and Describe Flaw
The author assumes that the group that liked vegetables did not all have the XRV2G gene. This is the basis of another assumption that the study revealed a correlation between not liking vegetables and having the gene. Then, the author makes another assumption that the explanation for this correlation is that the gene causes a dislike of vegetables.
