"Some" as opposed to "most" in the context of this question

Hi Mazen,

The argument is that direct mailing is good for the environment because it shifts buying from in-person (via car) to mail/online, which do not require a car.

B tells us that most of these direct-mail purchases would have happened anyway, so the mail campaigns actually shift products from in person to online, rather than leading to new demand. I think you are correct that this does indeed strengthen regardless of whether it is a some or a most- both would strengthen.
