   Why this is right

   - We establish that this Whole is #1 overall Soccer Players are #1 overall when it comes to average number of leg injuries. - Then we talk about #1 Part of that Whole Linda (a soccer player) is #1 for leg injuries among soccer players. - Then we conclude that this Part is #1 overall Linda has more leg injuries than anyone This is vulnerable to the same type of objection as was the original argument: even if soccer players on average have more leg injuries than other types of athletes, the #1 person with leg injuries might still be Wobbly Pete, the basketball player.

   We don't get our needed first ingredient - This Whole is #1 overall Instead, the premise is about an individual film. It's the #1 overall. Furthermore, this argument is actually fine. We're allowed to argue like this: - Thing X is A - Most things that are A are B. - Thus, Thing X is probably B.
