Travel agents are market intermediaries who make their living by gathering, organizing, and dispensing information about travel-related services that is not readily available to most consumers. Through new information technologies, such as the internet, much of this information can now be made directly available to consumers. Demand for the services of travel agents will be drastically reduced.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument ?
Travel agents routinely use the internet and other new information technologies as sources for the information they obtain for their customers.
The amount of information available through the internet and other new information technologies is increasing faster than the capabilities of most consumers to process it.
Many people use travel-related services, such as airlines and hotels without consulting a travel agent .
The people who currently use the services of travel agents are also those most likely to gain access to new information technologies.
The internet and other new information technologies are currently used by a relatively small proportion of the population.
这题E为什么不对呢？我看很多解释的都没有说到重点。E不对的关键也不在于“currently”,有人凭这个说“”用现在代表将来“去反驳，但B也是“is increasing”表达的也是现在。我觉得重点是”a small proportion of the population", 这是与题目无关的，说的是population，不是consumers.
赞成这个观点。E属于比较对象错了，放大了范围。consumers只是population的一部分，在population占比少，不代表在consumers群体占比就少。比如说，整个旅游消费群体（无论用agent service还是用新技术）都是小众的，使用新技术的人占消费全体的绝大多数，但这部分人放回到整个人口范围就还是比例很低。
