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.
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。
