Critic: Ride-share companies routinely attribute their shrinking profit margins to rising vehicle-maintenance expenses. Yet, once adjusted for inflation, those expenses are no higher than they were eight years ago. Indeed, the companies have long benefited from historically low maintenance costs. What actually threatens their profitability is an oversupply of drivers and increasingly aggressive price-discount promotions.

The critic's argument proceeds by

Aciting survey data to show that a commonly accepted analogy is misleading

Bquestioning the viability of a business strategy by comparing projected results with past performance

Crejecting a recently proposed remedy on the grounds that a traditional remedy yields better outcomes

Drejecting a purported cause of an observed decline and proposing an alternative cause

Ecalling into doubt a justification for a practice by demonstrating that the same justification would endorse an obviously harmful practice
