In a recent conference, two ecologists, Dr. Evans and Dr. Ramirez, presented conflicting viewpoints on forest management practices.

Dr. Evans advocates for the selective logging approach, arguing that it enhances biodiversity by allowing the growth of various tree species and providing habitats for wildlife. He cites studies showing that areas managed with selective logging have higher species richness compared to those with clear-cutting.

Conversely, Dr. Ramirez argues that clear-cutting is a necessary practice for reforestation efforts, stating that it allows for the rapid regrowth of new trees and offers short-term economic benefits that enable funding for long-term ecological projects. He references studies indicating that, when followed by replanting, clear-cut areas can recover biodiversity within a decade.

Given these viewpoints, which of the following statements best represents a flaw in Dr. Ramirez's argument?
