There is a high likelihood that Krishnan is a Hindustani Classical singer. Like most Hindustani Classical singers, Krishnan recognizes many of Pandit Kumar Gandharva’s works. The vast majority of people who are not Hindustani Classical singers do not. In fact, many people who are not Hindustani Classical singers have not even heard of Pandit Kumar Gandharva.
The reasoning in the above argument is flawed because
(a) it presumes, without providing justification, that people who have not heard of Pandit Kumar Gandharva do not recognize his works.
(b) it ignores the possibility that the majority of people who recognize many of Pandit Kumar Gandharva’s works are not Hindustani Classical singers.
(c) it relies for its plausibility on the vagueness of the term “Hindustani Classical”.
(d) Both (a) and (b)
