PrepTest 76, Section 3, Question 15
Armstrong: For the treatment of a particular disease, Dr. Sullivan argues for using nutritional supplements rather than the pharmaceuticals that most doctors prescribe. But this is in his self-interest since he is paid to endorse a line of nutritional supplements. Thus, we should not use nutritional supplements in treating the disease.

Armstrong's argument is flawed in that it
relies on two different meanings of the term "supplement" to draw a conclusion
relies solely on an appeal to an authority whose trustworthiness should not necessarily be taken for granted
appeals to people's emotions regarding the treatment of disease rather than to the efficacy of the two approaches to treatment
criticizes Dr. Sullivan's motives for holding a position rather than addressing the position itself
fails to justify its presumption that nutritional supplements cannot be used in conjunction with other treatments
