Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

Klemke argues that the complaints against his company are unfounded, because each of the complainants is biased against Klemke due to his political views.

The author points out that Klemke’s argument is flawed, because bias against Klemke doesn’t prevent someone from having legitimate complaints about Klemke’s services. Based on the fact Klemke’s argument is flawed, the author concludes that the complaints against Klemke are not unfounded.

Identify and Describe Flaw

The author overlooks the difference between pointing out an argument is flawed and showing that an argument’s conclusion is false. Although Klemke’s argument is flawed, that doesn’t prove the complaints against him are not unfounded. Klemke’s conclusion could still be correct, even if his argument is flawed.
