Wade, the shipping manager at an office furniture manufacturer, writes a memo proposing that that they stop using BackRoads Trucking Company and ship everything by Fast Street. The reason he gives is that two of the accounts that have been shipping by Fast Street during the last year increased their orders by more than $10\%,$ so he is certain that switching trucking firms will cause other accounts to grow too. The executives of the company do not accept Wade's suggestion. Why was his memo unconvincing?

$$ slanting of facts

exaggeration

either$/$or logic
