Airline: Newly developed collision-avoidance systems, although not fully tested to discover potential malfunctions, must be installed immediately in passenger planes. Their mechanical warnings enable pilots to avoid crashes. Pilots: Pilots will not fly in planes with collision-avoidance systems that are not fully tested. Malfunctioningsystems could mislead pilots, causing crashes.
The pilots' objection is most strengthened if which of the following is true?
No. The possibility of the device malfunction must be linked to plane crashes. The device can still malfunction, for example, not make any warning at all, and cause no additional crashes.
Sure. The second sentence has two conditions: 1. The system will malfunction, for example, stop working and not provide any warning. 2. The malfunctioning of the system will mislead pilots, causing crashes.
Your suggestion and the original choice A only talks about condition 1, which may or may not lead to condition 2. That's why it won't work as a supporting evidence.
