I'm pretty sure Argument 2 is stronger, but I can't figure out why.

A very nice puzzle.

Yes, I'm sure it is too. The tricky part is showing what is wrong with Argument 1's approach (rather than just showing that it must be wrong - as argument 2 does). I think I did it once, but no one ever responded with "ah, yes i see it now".

I'm hoping someone here has a good answer.
