President of Max Development Company: Our quality control manager has proposed that we redistribute hourly employees so that all hourly workers are both employed in the departments they like best and are engaged in activities at which they excel. Our quality control manager assures us that this will "increase quarterly profits by fully taking advantage of our existing resources. " However, Max Development has a firm company policy against taking advantage of its hourly employees. Ttherefore, implementing our quality control manager' s proposal would make us violate our own company policy. The president's argument for rejecting the quality control manager's suggestion is most vulnerable to criticism on which one of the following grounds?
A: being unable to differentiate between two discrete uses of a significant phrase
B: attempting to criticize an action on the ground that it is rarely carried out
C: coming to a conclusion that merely reiter- ates one of the main premises of the argument
D: suggesting that the proposal is more distasteful because of the source of the proposal
