Melanie Meyers Needs Lessons in Logic from Julius Malema

Melanie Meyers in her letter (Star Letters of today, "I agree with Julius Malema on labour brokers") makes a breathtaking extrapolation on the basis of a single incident of which she doesn't even know the facts!  The sales assistant was, she says, "in all probability" placed by a labour broker.  Shouldn't she at least have made sure about this instead of assuming it?  From this assumption she draws a conclusion about a whole industry!  With such a vast generalisation based on such incomplete research, should she go to Mr Malema for lessons in logic?
