Likewise, I'm going to assume (oh boy :p) hat Tom derived his position (that there are none) from taking the trend of declining numbers of exposed THs in silver, gold, and crystal, and expects the trend to continue into masters. Obviously, both are incorrect arguments, but one still has a valid conclusion. If you, I, or anyone else tried to point out all the cruddy forms of argument around here, we would drive ourselves mad. Heck, I find pointing out and correcting false conclusions to be a full time job, let alone the arguments behind them lol.
I get what you are saying, and you're right, but it just feels like nitpicking to me (not that there is anything wrong with that). It's an online forum for an iOS game... arguments in general aren't exactly going to be up to standards. If people come to the right conclusions I generally don't concern myself with how they got to it, unless the reasoning they used has a serious practical implication. That predisposition of mine is why I was baffled by your earlier posts.
