Passage Summary: A commentator argues that you can't be a successful leader in Acredia unless you care about the people, because every failed leader in the past was a jerk who didn't care.

Conclusion: Caring about the well-being of the population is a necessary requirement for a ruler to govern Acredia successfully.

Reasoning: Historically, every time an Acredian government has collapsed, the ruler at the time was someone who cruelly ignored the needs of the people.

Analysis: The commentator is confusing a sufficient condition for failure with a necessary condition for success. Just because every failed ruler was 'vicious' doesn't mean every 'virtuous' ruler will succeed, nor does it prove that virtue is the only path to success. It is entirely possible that some rulers who disregarded the people's needs actually ruled successfully for a long time before eventually falling. Look for an answer that points out this logical leap from 'ignoring needs leads to failure' to 'caring about needs is required for success.'
