Venture Capitalist: For an emerging technology platform to attain mainstream consumer adoption, it is imperative that it both addresses a preexisting logistical friction and secures aggressive early-stage capitalization. The new decentralized delivery protocol, OmniTransit, has undeniably solved a major logistical friction in urban freight and has just closed a massive early-stage funding round. It is evident, then, that OmniTransit will inevitably achieve mainstream consumer adoption.
Which of the following most accurately describes a flaw in the venture capitalist's reasoning?
- Apresumes a causal relationship between resolving a logistical issue and obtaining funding based solely on their joint occurrence
- takes for granted that satisfying the prerequisites for a phenomenon is all that is needed to bring about that phenomenonCevap
- Cpresumes, without providing justification, that what is true of the separate components of a protocol must be true of the protocol in its entirety
- Doverlooks the possibility that a large absolute amount of funding might constitute a small percentage of the capital required to succeed
- Edraws a conclusion that depends on interpreting a key term in two mutually incompatible ways
Cevap
The correct answer is the option stating that the argument takes for granted that satisfying the prerequisites for a phenomenon is all that is needed to bring about that phenomenon.
The argument states that addressing friction and securing funding are 'imperative' (necessary prerequisites) for mainstream adoption. It then concludes that because OmniTransit has met these conditions, it will 'inevitably' achieve adoption (treating them as sufficient). The correct option accurately describes this confusion between necessary and sufficient conditions.
