Subject: RE: BS: Has Walmart been defeated?
"Argument from Authority"   

1. A makes claim B;
2. there is something positive about A,
3. therefore claim B is true.

An exmple.

"I had several Logic courses in college, Old Guy, and that and the study of Ethics have always been interests of mine. There's not a helluva lot you can tell me about Logic that I don't already know, including what's a fallacy and what isn't. I haven't done an actual count, but you probably use more ad hominem attacks than anyone here."

1. "A" makes a claim B: Old Guy uses more AD Hominem attacks than anyone mere.

2. "A" states that he knows all about logic and is ethical because he studied it in college so there is something positive about him.

3. Therefore, claim B is true.


Please answer the question:

Why was the threshold in the Walmart bill set at 10,000 employees?
