Evaluate the following analogical argument:Can I recommend a good mechanic? Sure-B&M Tuneup. I've been taking my car there for years, and I've never had a single complaint. Of course, I have an old Chevy, and you drive a Mazda-one of those rotary-engine jobs, isn't it?

What will be an ideal response?


It is reasonable to expect good service from a mechanic who has given years of good service to a friend, but you cannot be certain that the mechanic who knows Chevys will be very good with your rotary-engine Mazda-as the speaker implies.
