I believe that the inductive argument made by Steingraber used empirical reasoning based on the evidence presented. Realizing that children's minds can be affected positively or negatively by media advertising was his initial hypothesis. Over time, Steingraber refined his initial hypothesis as different variables came into play, such as eating fast food at McDonalds and his children starting school. This self-correction process effectively demonstrated that his empirical reasoning was based on measurable manifestations. She understood that advertising was just one method that could influence children's decisions about what they like and dislike, but she also realized that Other factors were involved and would have just as much influence. Each time a different variable was presented to his children, their hypothesis was verified; for example, when kids hated McDonald's food. The experiment is open to independent verification because it has been and could be repeated again and again in different scenarios; However, one could criticize that it is very rare for children to react in this way because they have only taken two tests.
