To be eligible for the senior discount at the museum, a visitor must be at least sixty-five years old. Marcus is sixty-seven years old. Therefore, Marcus is eligible for the senior discount.
The argument's reasoning is flawed because it
- treats a requirement that merely has to be met as though satisfying it alone settled the matter
- mistakes a sequence of events occurring in time for a relationship of cause and effect
- assumes that everyone past the age threshold actually wants to claim the discount
- overlooks that some visitors younger than sixty-five might qualify for the discount too
- relies on Marcus's exact age when only an approximate age was ever established
