Evaluate the following argument in accordance with the criteria discussed in the text.A terrible squeaking noise from my tape recorder got so bad I couldn't stand to listen to my tapes anymore. I was sure the machine had developed a problem-and just a month after the warranty expired, too. So I cleaned the heads, the capstan, and all the moving parts, hoping I could make the noise go away. It remained. Then, just as I had decided I was going to have to take it in for repairs, I played some tapes belonging to a friend of mine, and the squeak wasn't there. So the problem is with my tapes, not my machine. I'm not sure I like that any better, since I've got dozens of them.

What will be an ideal response?
