A Researcher argues that most elementary school computers are installed without consideration for the children’s postures, which puts them at the same risk for repetitive stress injuries as office workers. This is because a study revealed that much of the computer equipment in elementary schools is positioned in a way that encourages unhealthy postures.

The Researcher assumes that children and adult office workers are equally prone to repetitive stress injuries (there could be a difference between children and adults).

The Researcher also assumes that because the keyboards and monitors are positioned in a way that “encourages” poor posture, that it actually results in bad posture.

The Researcher also assumes that the difference in time spent on the computer is negligible between elementary students and office workers.

This does not change the fact that the keyboards and monitors were positioned higher than recommended for “children.” This does not impact the argument’s reasoning

While this raises questions about the amount of time students spend on school computers, it does not give any reason to seriously doubt the argument’s reasoning

This directly calls out a key assumption in the argument: that the difference between children and adults is negligible. This undermines the argument by suggesting that, even with poor posture, children are less likely to experience the same risks as office workers.

This shows that office workers face poorly adjusted workspaces but does not weaken the underlying reasoning or argument. The argument is focused on children.

The rate at which children vs. adults report their injuries has no bearing on whether they actually face similar risks.
