medium · LSAT Logical Reasoning
The film critic's claim that the director's latest movie is a masterpiece is clearly mistaken. The critic is a close personal friend of the director and has repeatedly praised the director's earlier, decidedly mediocre films.
The argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it:
- dismisses a claim purely by impugning the impartiality of the person who advanced it
- draws an analogy between two art forms that are not relevantly similar
- assumes that a person's past judgments must always match their present ones
- neglects to specify what features a film must have to count as a masterpiece
- treats one critic's praise of mediocre films as proof that all critics are unreliable
