一: To begin with, the author’s line of reasoning is that A was the cause of B. However, although A coincided with B, it does not establish a general causal relationship between A and B. For example, it is quite possible that . Thus, .(结论错误)
二:(它因) This article concludes that . Very likely and but not necessarily, other factors such as (其他因素) are ignored as possible causes for B. The argument can be sustained only if these and other possible factors can be completely ruled out as contributing to B.
三:(两事根本没因果关系) The argument commits the fallacy of assuming that just because one event follows another, the second event has been caused by the first. The mere fact that A occurs before B does not necessarily establish a causal relationship between A and B.

Model 2 a) First, the argument relies on the assumption that A has caused B. b) The author uses the statistical relationship//positive correlation between A and B to establish causality. c) However, a statistical relationship//positive correlation does not mean causality. //The fact that A coincides with B does not necessarily prove that A caused B. d) There may be other factors that could have caused B/contributed to B. e) Such as A1, A2, and A3.
Model 3 a) First, the author fails to establish a causal relationship between the fact A and the claim B. b) The fact that A coincide with B does not necessarily prove that A caused B. c) This argument is unacceptable if there is no compelling evidence to support the connection between these two events.

Model 3 a) Finally, the argument is unwarranted for the flaw of “Insufficient sample” fallacy. b) Based on a specific example of A1 and only three courses, it is logically unsounded to make suggestion for all A . c) It is possible that --- caused --- in three specific course in a certain school, but the arguer has never provided any evidence to indicate A2 will similar to A1. Model 4 a) In the first place, the author provide no evidence to support the claim that A1 the population as a whole is aging and that A2 the hotel occupancy rate in general is deciding, b) The example cited, while suggestive of these trends, is insufficient to warrant their truth because there is no reason to believe the data drawn from the special region is representative of the entire country. c) For example, if the region from which the data was gathered was Florid, it would clearly be unrepresentative. The reason for this is obvious---.
第三宗罪: 错误类比 (based on a false analogy ) Model 1 a) In the first place, the argument is based on a false analogy. b) Analogies draw between A and B are highly suspect because there are many serious differences. c) While A ----, B----.// For example, A----, however, B----. d) Thus, it is likely much more difficult for B to do---.
