The reasoning in Bauer's argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that the argument
misrepresents a criticism about the consequences of a practice as a criticism about the intrinsic value of the practice
takes for granted that a certain authority should be respected merely because it is an authority
takes for granted that a particular practice is good simply because it is the way things have traditionally been done
confuses the cause of a certain phenomenon for an effect of that phenomenon
defends the current situation merely by suggesting its superiority to an implausible alternative
