Oil company representative: We spent more money on cleaning the otters affected by our recent oil spill than has been spent on any previous marine mammal rescue project. This shows our concern for the environment. Environmentalist: You have no such concern. Your real concern is evident in your admission to the press that news photographs of oil-covered otters would be particularly damaging to your public image, which plays an important role in your level of sales. The environmentalist's conclusion would be properly drawn if it were true that the ["oil company's efforts toward cleaning the affected otters have been more successful than have such efforts in previous projects to clean up oil spills", 'oil company cannot have more than one motive for cleaning the otters affected by the oil spill', 'otter population in the area of the oil spill could not have survived without the cleaning project', 'government would have spent the money to clean the otters if the oil company had not agreed to do it']
