An accomplished amateur musician, the Mayor has always believed that “all music is good music.” He, therefore, was happy to sponsor a series of “Rock the Park” concerts last summer. When neighbors of the parks complained several times during the summer, the Mayor said that if the music was not good, then it wasn’t music.
The Mayor’s reasoning contains which of the following errors?
(A) It assumes what it is trying to establish.
(B) It attempts to justify a position by appealing to a consideration that is of no importance.
(C) It relies on the Mayor’s authority.
(D) The Mayor does not live near any of the parks where “Rock the Park” concerts were held.
(E) The Mayor is an amateur classical musician, not an amateur rock musician.
