medium · LSAT Logical Reasoning
A critic argues that the university's new curriculum is a failure because it emphasizes vocational training over classical liberal arts. However, the critic's argument should be dismissed because the critic themselves attended a university known for its extensive vocational programs and has a career in a highly technical field.
The argument's reasoning is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
- discredits the critic by appealing to the critic's own schooling and career instead of engaging the critic's actual point.
- presumes that vocational training and a liberal arts education cannot coexist within one curriculum.
- offers no proof that vocational training in fact leads to successful careers.
- mistakes a condition that is enough to ensure success for one that is merely required for it.
- relies on a sample of universities too small to support a general claim about curricula.
