10. Interviewer: You have shown that biofeedback, dietary changes, and adoption of proper sleep habits all succeed in curing insomnia. You go so far as to claim that ,with rigorous adherence to the proper treatment, any case of insomnia is curable. Yet in fact some patients suffering from insomnia do not respond to treatment.

Therapist: If patients do not respond to treatment, this just shows that they are not rigorous in adhering to their treatment.

The therapist抯 reply to the interviewer is most vulnerable to which one of the following criticisms?

(A) It precludes the possibility of disconfirming evidence.

(B) It depends on the ambiguous use of the term "treatment"

(C) It fails to acknowledge that there may be different causes for different cases of insomnia.

(D) It does not provide statistical evidence to back up its claim.

(E) It overlooks the possibility that some cases of insomnia might improve without any treatment

请问C为什么不对？谢谢

C is not relevant. It seems that you are assuming that the reason that some do not respond to the treatment is that the causes are different. This is not what the arg ument is about. I think the problem is that all patients who do not respond to the treatment can be considered as "not adhereing to the treatment" and the facts will then be discounted. There is no time limit of how long is long enough to be considered adhereing.

Spot the question type: Weaken

Core of the argument

I: T, you claimed that any insomnia is curable with the treatments, but some do not respond to the treatment,

T: If they don't respond, its because they are not following to their treatment.

Gosh, what if its because treatment itself is fallacious ?

A as the perfect answer.
