In the first place, the author falsely depends on gratuitous assumption that the introduction of Jolly Pirate Ship could promote the attendance rate. Yet, no evidence is mentioned in the argument to buttress this assumption. There may be other factors that the author fails to take into consideration devoting to the increase of attendance. For example, the committee made longer and powerful advertising or cut the ticket fee to attract visitor. It is also likely that there was another important activity held in St. Clyde which allured many outlanders and incidentally, these people visit Harbor Week Festival. Any of these scenarios, if true, would give rise to the same result. Thus, this argument is groundless unless the possible factors other than the introduction of Jolly Pirate Ship are debarred.
The author does not address with the cause of the increase of the attendance rate but merely assumes that the introduction of Jolly Pirate Ship could promote the attendance rate in weak attempt to buttress his or her argument. But if the main cause of enhancing the number of tourists is the lower tiket price ,or even the introduction of Jolly Pirate Ship can contribute to attacting more tourists, if people always are more concerned about the price of tikets, then the author cannot reach such conclusion ; therefore, his proposal will not generate more benefits. |
