LSAT-8-4-17

Dr. Kim: Electronic fetal monitors, now routinely used in hospital delivery rooms to check fetal heartbeat, are more intrusive than ordinary stethoscopes and do no more to improve the chances that a healthy baby will be born. Therefore, the additional cost of electronic monitoring is unjustified and such monitor-jog should be discontinued.

Dr. Anders: I disagree. Although you and I know that both methods are capable of providing the same information, electronic monitoring has been well worth the cost. Doctors now know the warning signs they need to listen for with stethoscopes, but only because of what was learned from using electronic monitors.

17. As a reply to Dr. Kim's argument, Dr. Anders' response is inadequate because it

(A) misses the point at issue

(B) assumes what it sets out to prove

(C) confuses high cost with high quality

(D) overestimates the importance of technology to modem medicine

(E) overlooks the fact that a procedure can be extensively used without being the best procedure available
A

能给出一个例子说明B吗?我很不懂这是怎么回事

谢谢!

a说的后面那个人说的最后一句

but only because of what was learned from using electronic monitors.

既然已经学会了，那当然可以monitor-jog should be discontinued.

B的意思好像是说论证时用的假设内容是论证的结论。比如：

你说：电灯是开着的

我说：我认为电灯是关着的。因为如果电灯不是开着的，那它肯定是关着的。

呵呵，我是菜鸟，欢迎讨论。
