This tax would affect the price of fuel for transportation, electricity generation, and manufacturing. Would an analytical approach that examines only the market for fossil fuels in isolation be sufficient for this task? Justify your answer by explaining the limitations of such an approach in this specific context.

What is the fundamental limitation of the initial analysis identified by the critic?
