　　The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of marketing at Dura-Sock, Inc.

　　A recent study of our customers suggests that our company is wasting the money it spends on its patented Endure manufacturing process, which ensures that our socks are strong enough to last for two years. We have always advertised our use of the Endure process, but the new study shows that despite our socks durability, our average customer actually purchases new Dura-Socks every three months. Furthermore, our customers surveyed in our largest market, northeastern United States cities, say that they most value Dura-Socks stylish appearance and availability in many colors. These findings suggest that we can increase our profits by discontinuing use of the Endure manufacturing process.

　　Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.

　　中文翻译：

　　最近一次对于Dura-Sock使用者的调查表明我们公司用于其专利生产方式 Endure 上的钱是浪费的，这种方式使我们生产的袜子足以使用两年。 Dura-Sock一直在做广告宣传它使用 Endure 方式，但这次新调查显示尽管我们的袜子十分耐穿，但Dura-Sock的消费者每三个月就买一双Dura-Sock袜子。而且，在位于美国北部城市我们最大的商场回应调查的Dura-Sock消费者说他们最欣赏Dura-Sock时尚的外观和众多颜色的选择。这些事实说明Dura-Sock可以通过停止使用 Endure 生产方式来增加盈利。

　　写一篇回应，在其中检视文章的论证中述及和/或未明确述及的假设，务请解释文章的论证是如何依赖于这些假设的，并指出如果这些假设不成立会对文章的论证带来何种影响。
