A threshold problem involves the survey’s reliability and typicality. Confined to the technology of communication and level of scientific survey, the availability of the information about incidence of a disease in ancient is dubious in large measure. And I have all the reasons to conjure the incompleteness of the survey which undermines its reliability. The arguer fails to account for the possibility if there was any other year with heavy sunspot activity, but without worldwide flu epidemics, which would had been damaged or just not found or even, not be recorded at all. Actually, Compared with the history of human epidemics, 300 years is remote from a particularly long time frame to make a comprehensive conclusion. Yet the arguer provides no information aside from this period of time. Admittedly, the survey would be more rational if this period of time is indeed typical of the whole epidemic history, however. again no evidence rendered support it . In conclusion, the survey is dubious at best in terms of the correlation between the sunspot activity and incidence of flu in chronology,, that is, n the recorded 300 years, let alone the whole history.
Even assuming the survey is statistically complete and the sample is typical of the whole history, the arguer go further by equating the correlation in chronology with the immediate casual relationship between S A and F E without ruling out other alternative crucial factors also directly or indirectly contribute to the F E.
. It is entirely possible that the flu epidemics were due to the weather deterioration caused by heavy sunspot activity. Common sense informs us that an abnormal increase or decrease in temperature or an unusual drought or flood, might make the spread of virus more easily and thus cause wide flu epidemics. Also, there were many other factors—such as the wars and worldwide famines—that contributed to the worldwide flu epidemics despite the sunspot activity. Without eliminating this and other explanations for the results, it is quite unfair to draw the conclusion that the S A is the chief criminal for F E.
Even the all fore going assumption is true, the recommendation that the People at particular risk for the flu should therefore avoid prolonged exposure to the Sun is to some what ridiculous in terms of feasibility. The arguer provides no criteria of the extent to which the time exposure to sun is precarious enough to cause the disease, or the detailed definition of the genre of people susceptible to catch the disease. Without the information, we just can not take any provision to avoid the F E, even if we accepted the arguer’s theory. Not to mention, as a matter of fact through empirical experience, moderate sun activity is wholesome to people with regard to adjusting the mood and boosting the spirit and to cure the seasonal affective disorder. It’s entirely possible this merits is good to people’s immunity Yet the arguer fails to preclude the possibility.Therefore the recommendation referred to avoid the sun exposure seems rashy and precipitous
