~といい Grammar point with 評価 as an implication


During my class today we were studying N1 Grammar といい. In our textbook there
was the question:

> 水泳といいテニスといい、(x)。  
>  a) スポーツはみな楽しい b) 私はお子様に習わせている c) 私はやったことがない

So I understand that a) is a correct answer, but I had trouble with c). The
teacher explained to me that the grammar point is supposed to be used with the
speaker's evaluation of the topic (評価) along side an adjective. They mentioned
that because c) is related to the speaker's experience (経験) instead of (評価),
the grammar cannot be used. I believe they were thinking I was aiming for a
sentence like (水泳もテニスも私はやったことがない).

My argument actually was that the answer wasn't mutually exclusive to only
one, since my thinking that lead to C) was that because the speaker hadn't
tried those two activities before, it may seem to them as fun to try (as an
evaluation after hearing them). The teacher was surprised, but didn't really
give me a clear answer of whether or not being that case would still remain
incorrect, (replied with あ、そんな考え方もあるんですね！) and moved on to make sure I
understood why a) was correct.

Any thoughts?




Indeed, `AといいBといい` is typically used in the context of expressing the
speaker's excitement or frustration. You should not use it to describe a fact
in a matter-of-factly manner. So if I need to choose only one option among the
three, I would pick (a). Still, I believe it's perfectly safe to say (c), for
example when expressing your regret that you haven't experienced any of
similar activities.
