That only proves he can get pictures of dozens of celebrities.

Unless you have some reason to believe that those dozens are typical of
celebrities in general and it's as easy to get pictures of the rest as it

I can walk into a bookstore and come out with a stack of $1 books.  Does that
mean that given any particular book, you can probably find it for $1?
