City resident: These new digital electronic billboards should be banned for light pollution since they are much too bright.
Outdoor advertising spokesperson: No, that’s not true. Testing with a sophisticated light meter shows that at night they throw off less light than traditional billboards that are reflectively lit.
Your mistaken perception that they are brighter comes from looking directly at the light source—the screen itself.
The underlying strategy of the spokesperson’s response to the resident is most analogous to the underlying strategy of which of the following?
A doctor dismisses a patient’s claim to have had a heart attack, citing a cardiac enzyme blood test.
A politician rejects an accusation of perjury by denying the credibility of witness testimony.
An insurance agent rejects a claim, on the grounds that there is insufficient evidence to support the claimant’s testimony.
An investigator casts doubt on the results of a lie detector, citing the subject’s report of illness during the test.
A psychologist treats a mental illness by encouraging a patient to abandon inconsistent beliefs.
A. 根据一个科学的test来反对你的观点,是对的
B. 并没有怀疑对方证据的真实性,他也承认了直面光源确实很亮,并没有说这是伪证,只是理解上的错误
C. 文章根本没有提 insufficient evidence
D. D是照着test report直接怀疑你的report分析有问题,和本文没什么关系
E. encouraging直接错误,文章是在用证据解释说服而不是在鼓励放弃观点...
