Mel: The official salary for judges has always been too low to attract the best candidates to the job. The legislature's move to raise the salary has done nothing to improve the situation, because it was coupled with a ban on receiving money for lectures and teaching engagements.
Pat: No, the raise in salary really does improve the situation. Since very few judges teach or give lectures, the ban will have little or no negative effect.
Pat's response to Mel is inadequate in that it
attempts to assess how a certain change will affect potential members of a group by providing evidence about its effect on the current members.
mistakenly takes the cause of a certain change to be an effect of that change.
attempts to argue that a certain change will have a positive effect merely by pointing to the absence of negative effects.
simply denies Mel's claim without putting forward any evidence in support of that denial .
assumes that changes that benefit the most able members of a group necessarily benefit all members of that group.
题目：M说法官的收入太低以至于对优秀人才没什么吸引力。虽然工资上涨了，但是由于禁止通过演讲或授课来赚钱，因此法官境况没啥改观。P反驳说工资上涨改善了法官境况，因为很少有法官去演讲或授课，禁止令基本没什么作用。问P对M的反驳错在哪里。
思路：M说了法官行业的现状：无法吸引到最优秀的候选人加入这个行业。这里潜台词是现在在行业的法官并不是最优秀的选择。然后M还说了涨工资的副作用：伴随的禁令仍然会阻止优秀人才。P说几乎没有法官去做讲座，换句话P认为副作用不存在。但注意到法官是现在的业内人士，不是最优秀的候选，而我们关注的副作用，是要关注对最优秀的候选人的影响。
