Question #4781

A, B, C

Thankfully A matched my anticipation so I selected it, but it took me a long time because B and C look so good. The distinction P makes sounds like a principle to me. That V treats it as untenable indicates that she is attacking that premise. Why is that not a premise/general principle? As for C, why wouldn't "many scientific discoveries" not count as a counterexample?

    B is wrong not because of the principle issue, but because there is no explicitly stated principle that V attacks. V attacks the idea that science and mere curiosity are mutually exclusive, which is not explicitly stated in Ps argument. C is wrong because that is not an example. An example would require an actual case in which such a thing occurred. That does not happen in the argument.

    Ah I see. Thank you Emil.
