(Mr.) Bean Sprout
By
Premus
Big beans didn't grow
Sprouts of the smallest beans grew the tallest Equal amount of water Equal amount of space Equal number of beans Same temperature Same humidity Same time frame
Data
The big beans would have grown if they had been soaked in water
The bigger the bean the longer the soaking
Soaking increases the water content in the beans and
brings them out of quiescence (sleep)
Claim, warrant and backing
Most people soak bigger beans before germination (sprouting)
The beans might have been too old to germinate
Qualifier and rebuttal
