Subject: RE: BS: effective arguments
"and as you know, 7 out of 10 doctors leaves 3!" What's wrong with that? Mathematically it is unexceptionable, of course, but it also might be very a very relevant point to make in an argument - for example where the opponent was putting too much emphasis on the fact that seven out of ten doctors believed that some course of treatment was good or bad.
