The author does not include a section exploring counterarguments or a conclusion.
Although there are many notable examples of successful writers who were known—at least in part—for their laziness, examples of people who were successful as a direct result of their diligence abound in a wide range of disciplines. Michael Jordan, for example, is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. During his career, he was known for his unrelenting competitiveness and attention to detail. Among authors, Ray Bradbury was known for writing one short story every week—an astounding rate of production. And many other successful authors have set page quotas and strict schedules for themselves. So, while devaluing productivity may have worked for some, focusing intently on it has worked for many others.
I find my counterargument fairly compelling. The author’s argument mainly consists of anecdotal evidence. It would be compelling if all of the available evidence supported the central claim. But the amount of anecdotal evidence that does not support the claim weakens the author’s argument and strengthens my counterargument.
For those on Plato/Edmentum, I believe the answer is
