Analysis of Strengths and Weaknesses of the Argument as Standardised Premise One Harper says it would be hard to identify a person if all the authorities have to work with is a physical description of a Burqa & an accent, which does guarantee a degree of anonymity, however Harper has committed false dilemma here.
