AA110集思广益中参加讨论提高自己惠及他人

110. The following appeared as part of a memorandum from the loan department of the Frostbite National Bank.
“We should not approve the business loan application of the local group that wants to open a franchise outlet for the Kool Kone chain of ice cream parlors. Frostbite is known for its cold winters, and cold weather can mean slow ice cream sales. For example, even though Frostbite is a town of 10,000 people, it has only one ice cream spot — the Frigid Cow. Despite the lack of competition, the Frigid Cow’s net revenues fell by 10 percent last winter.”

1The pivotal factor in deciding whether to give loan to a company should depend on the credit of the company rather than the prospective performance of it.
2Admittedly, the former and prospective performance of the company is also important when the bank have to make decision of whether or not should it give loan to a company. However, the author of the memorandum shows no sufficient evidence to support his or her proposal that the bank should not give loan to Kool Kone chain of ice cream parlors.
3The statistics last year does not necessarily denote the future trend.

这么久没人丢两句话啊

我来两句：While referring to the cold winter, the author omits the duration of it.

                 The number of parlors is not closely relavent to the potential market.

说一下我的思路：

1，Gratuitous assumption：题目只说本地区famous for cold winter,没有提到duration.（不知道算作gratuitous assumption是不是正确）

2，错误类比：文中提到的两个公司不一定有可比性。fc的失败不一定可以应用到cc上

3，all things are equal:去年的失败不能说明情况永远不好

请大家指正

恩，对啊．我觉得还有,其实跟你的3找在同一个位置

insufficient sample: the figure of 10% decline last year is not sufficient to lead to the conclusion that ice cream industry in F always suffers loss.
