|
Over – Precision
|
When an argument treats information as more precise than it really is. This happens when imprecise information contained on the premises must be taken as accurate to adequately support the conclusion.
|
The article begins with the first two words “Soaring demand”… implies that the product is in demand…but we need a number to justify this statement and the importance of the product, so they mention “200” restaurants they will be providing product to. In their conclusion, they finish that they will be pushing their product on a global scale.
|
|
One-Sidedness
|
A one-sided argument presents only evidence favoring its conclusion and ignores or downplays the evidence against it.
|
Impossible Foods is apparently promoting a very definite based article that is showing the advancement of their product. However, as positive as this article might seem, they do not mention at all any group of people who might not have been too excited about trying out this new vegan burger, like say adventurous carnivores that changed their attitude about suddenly eating a meatless-burger.
