The software development team at TechNova wrote more lines of code this year than any other team in the company. Sarah is a developer on that team. The argument concludes that Sarah personally wrote more lines of code than any other developer in the company.
The reasoning above is flawed in that it
- infers that a trait belonging to a group as a whole must belong to each of its individual members
- overlooks the possibility that Sarah joined the team only late in the year
- draws a conclusion about ongoing performance from a single year's worth of data
- assumes that the sheer amount of code written reliably reflects the quality of that code
- presumes that Sarah must be the company's single best programmer in every respect
