Hello, I just want to make sure that I am understanding why B is incorrect. The Negation to B is: "At least one person that does not serve on a medical review panel of experts has the knowledge and expertise to evaluate medical research findings." This sounds like it can be correct, but because the argument is about the entire public and this answer choice doesn't establish that the entire public will be protected from making decisions on possibly substandard research, then one person knowing does not ruin the argument. Is that correct?

    Hi, b is wrong because it does not have to be true. Let's imagine that there is one person who does not serve on a peer review board who does in fact to have the skills necessary. Perhaps they are retired, or were so unpleasant to work with they are no longer invited to be on boards. Would this kill the argument? I don't think it would. The existence of this one hypothetical person does nothing to the argument.
