Pundit: The only airline providing service for our town announced that because the service is unprofitable it will discontinue this service next year. Town officials have urged the community to use the airline' s service more frequently so that the airline will change its decision. There is no reason to comply with their recommendation, however, for just last week these same officials drove to an out-of town conference instead of flying. The pundit's reasoning is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it presumes, without providing justification, that ['if the town officials did not follow their own advice then that advice is not worth following', "the town officials paid for their trip with taxpayers' money rather than their own money", "suspending service and losing money by continuing service are the airline's only options", 'ground transportation is usually no less expensive than airplane transportation']
