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
- relies on figures drawn from a year in which the team's total output was wholly unrepresentative
- draws a conclusion about how the firm's other teams performed from data describing only one team
- assumes that the sheer quantity of code a developer writes reliably reflects the quality of that code
- presumes that Sarah must rank as the company's single best programmer in essentially every respect
