- Question 9 (from “homework”)
- Joseph makes the second assumption: tests are not an insignificant portion of bills
- Ronald makes the fourth assumption: patients are not as likely to choose expensive tests

- Why is it useful to identify the assumptions an argument depends on?
- - You can more easily understand the person’s position an argument.
- - You can more easily recognize if it’s a strong argument (a very logical argument based on bad assumptions is not a good argument).
