During a discussion about education reform, a panelist asserted, "If we invest in better technology for classrooms, every student will score higher on their tests." This statement sparked a debate about the relationship between resources and academic success.
Several attendees argued against this viewpoint, citing examples where increased funding did not lead to improved student performance. They emphasized that other factors, such as teaching quality and student engagement, also play significant roles in educational outcomes. However, one panelist maintained that the only logical explanation for poor performance in well-funded schools was ineffective use of resources, suggesting that technology was necessary but not sufficient for success.
What logical fallacy, if any, does the panelist’s assertion illustrate?
