Teacher: Journalists who conceal the identity of the sources they quote stake their professional reputations on what may be called the logic of anecdotes. This is so because the statements reported by such journalists are dissociated from the precise circumstances in which they were made and thus will be accepted for publication only if the statements are high in plausibility or originality or interest to a given audience—precisely the properties of a good anecdote. Student: But what you are saying, then, is that the journalist need not bother with sources in the first place. Surely, any reasonably resourceful journalist can invent plausible, original, or interesting stories faster than they can be obtained from unidentified sources. 17. The student’s response contains which one of the following reasoning flaws? (A) confusing a marginal journalistic practice with the primary work done by journalists (B) ignoring the possibility that the teacher regards as a prerequisite for the publication of an unattributed statement that the statement have actually been made (C) confusing the characteristics of reported statements with the characteristics of the situations in which the statements were made (D) judging the merits of the teacher’s position solely by the most extreme case to which the position applies (E) falsely concluding that if three criteria, met jointly, assure an outcome, then each criterion, met individually, also assures that outcome 一道读得让我万念俱灰的题 答案是B 辛辛苦苦把题目翻译出来： 老师说：那些隐瞒他们引用的资源的身份的记者把他们的专业声誉赌在了所谓的轶事逻辑上。之所以这样说是因为这些记者的报道和报道来源的准确环境相分离了，因此只有当这些报道具有很高的可信性、原创性，并激发了特定观众的兴趣——
恰恰就是一个好的轶事的特点————才会被发表。 学生：但是按您说的话，那么记者就没必要去为获得第一手的资料而烦恼了。任何具有合理的丰富资源的记者都可以更快地杜撰出可行的、原创的和吸引人的故事而不是从未标明身份的资料来源中去得到这样的消息。 但发现根本看不懂B是什么意思 学生忽略了哪个prerequisite呢？  |
