PrepTest 52, Section 2, Question 6
Beck: Our computer program estimates municipal automotive use based on weekly data. Some staff question the accuracy of the program's estimates. But because the figures it provides are remarkably consistent from week to week, we can be confident of its accuracy.

The reasoning in Beck's argument is flawed in that it
fails to establish that consistency is a more important consideration than accuracy
fails to consider the program's accuracy in other tasks that it may perform
takes for granted that the program's output would be consistent even if its estimates were inaccurate
regards accuracy as the sole criterion for judging the program's value
fails to consider that the program could produce consistent but inaccurate output
