Flaw in Marketing Survey Claims

Very Hard Critical Reasoning Identifying Flaws

In a marketing report, a company claimed that their latest smartphone model received overwhelmingly positive reviews from users. The report stated that a survey conducted among current smartphone owners indicated that 85% of respondents rated the new model as 'excellent' or 'very good.' Based on these results, the company announced that it expects to dominate the smartphone market in the upcoming year. However, the report neglects to mention that the survey was only distributed through social media platforms, which tend to attract tech-savvy individuals who are more likely to have a favorable opinion of the product.
