Banker: My country’s laws require every bank to invest in its local community by lending money to local businesses, providing mortgages for local home purchases, and so forth. This is intended to revitalize impoverished local communities. But it is clear that the law will soon entirely cease to serve its intended purpose. An increasing number of banks incorporated in our country exist solely on the Internet and are not physically located in any specific community.
The banker’s argument is most vulnerable to criticism on which of the following grounds?
It overlooks the possibility that most banks that are physically located in specific communities in the banker’s country are not located in impoverished communities.
It takes for granted that a law that ceases to serve its originally intended purpose no longer serves any other beneficial purpose, either.
It confuses a condition that would, if present, be likely to produce a given effect, with a condition that would probably be the cause if that effect were present.
It overlooks the possibility that even if there is a strong correlation between two phenomena, neither of those phenomena are necessarily causally responsible for the other.
It fails to adequately address the possibility that an increase in the number of banks of one kind in the banker’s country will not lead to the complete elimination of banks of another kind.
注意说者的观点是the law will soon entirely cease to serve its purpose，有个entirely做了限定。这个限定是不对的，除非网上银行挤走全部的线下银行，否则就不能entirely cease。但我们知道网上银行和线下银行是可以同时存在的，就算有减少，那也是使其减少而不是消灭。
C的意思是把可能的原因看成了必然的原因，属于常见的逻辑推理缺陷，但本题不属于此种情况
D的意思是同时发生的事情看成了二者必然互相影响，也是常见的逻辑推理缺陷，但本题不属于此种情况
