Cheese causes heartburn. Ice cream is a lot like cheese. Therefore, ice cream causes
heartburn.
What will be an ideal response?
(Argument by analogy. The arguer reasons that ice cream causes heartburn because
it is like cheese. Common features are not mentioned. We know there can be
similarity in texture, color, and shape, but these features are not relevant to causing
heartburn. Both are milk products and that may be a relevant similarity. On the
other hand, the production of cheese and milk differ in ways that may prove
disanalogous relative to causing heartburn. Thus, the only way to check the causal
analogy is to experiment with other milk products.)
