Furthermore, the performance of each particular stock fund has not varied much from one year to the next, and our few investment products other than stock funds have stayed even with the market. These results show the success of our company: each year, most of our investment products have increased in value more than the market.The debater's argument is most vulnerable to criticism on which of these grounds? It takes for granted that the stock funds are typical of the company with regard to the average increase in value per year. It takes for granted that if a certain average annual increase in value was obtained by each investment product, then each stock fund increased each year by approximately the same amount. It confuses a claim from which the argument's conclusion about the company would necessarily follow with a claim that would follow from the argument's conclusion only with a high degree of probability. It overlooks the possibility that even if, on average, the stock funds increased by an average annual value, many stock funds may have increased less than the market as whole. It overlooks the possibility that even if most investment products at the company have increased in value more than the market this year, any one investment product may, in some years, fail to increase in value at all.
