Black thinks I am wrong to describe him as defaming Spencer, then he must show either that thesis (d) is true, or else that his book does not after all assert thesis (d).
Black's main discussion of Herbert Spencer occurs in the book's opening section, which is titled "From Peapod to Persecution." The obvious implication is that this section describes the small beginnings (peapod) from which the later eugenics movement (persecution) grew.
Black asserts thesis (d), there is nothing surprising in his also being committed to thesis (c).
For Black the scope of rhetorical criticism, the objects to which the rhetorical critic properly directs her attention and the interest she takes in them, is determined by two considerations: (i) the rhetorical critic’s inherited focus on persuasive discourse and (ii) the demands which humane interest in such discourse impose on the critic.
Among Black’s most important insights into the internal logic of neo-Aristotelian criticism is his observation that the neo-Aristotelian critic’s restricted view of persuasive discourse compels her to choose between a starkly pragmatic judgment of the discourse’s immediate effectiveness and an impossible formalism divorced from consideration of rhetorical function.
Black has endeavored understand the full interpretative and evaluative powers of the critic, to clear the field of restricting conceptions which inhibit exercise of those powers in rhetorical criticism, to identify a focus for rhetorical critics which enables the critic to bring those powers to bear in studies of the developmental powers of persuasive discourses.
