ISSUE
"The goal of politics should not be the pursuit of an ideal, but rather the
search for common ground and reasonable consensus."
"Anyone can make things bigger and more complex. What requires real effort
and courage is to move in the opposite direction—in other words, to make
things as simple as possible."
ARGUMENT
The following appeared in a memo at the XYZ company.
"When XYZ lays off employees, it pays Delany Personnel Firm to offer those
employees assistance in creating resumès and developing interviewing skills,
if they so desire. Laid-off employees have benefited greatly from Delany's
services: last year those who used Delany found jobs much more quickly than
did those who did not. Recently, it has been proposed that we use the
less-expensive Walsh Personnel Firm in place of Delany. This would be a
mistake because eight years ago, when XYZ was using Walsh, only half of the
workers we laid off at that time found jobs within a year. Moreover, Delany
is clearly superior, as evidenced by its bigger staff and larger number of
branch offices. After all, last year Delany's clients took an average of six
months to find jobs, whereas Walsh's clients took nine."
