about LSAT' two reason questions/LSAT-2-4-12

Elen

though they soon will, patients should not have a legal right to see their medical records. As a docotor, I see two reasons for this, First, giving them access will be time -wasting because it will significantly reduce the amount of time that medical staff can spend on more important duties, by forcing them to retrieve and return files. Second, if my experience is anything to go by, no patients are going to ask for access to their records anyway.

which one of the following, if true, establishes that the doctor's second reason does not cancel out the first?

A: The new law will require that doctors, when seeing a patient in their office, must be ready to produce the patient's records immediately, not just ready to retrieve them.

B: The task of retrieving and returnign files would  fall to the lowest-paid member of a doctor's office staff.

C: Any patients who asked to see their medical records would also insist on having detials they  did not understand expained to them.

D: The new law does not rule out that doctors may charge patients for extra-expenses incurred specifically in order to comply with the new law.

E: Some doctors have all allowing their patients access to their medical records, but those doctors' patients took no advantage of this policy.

the key is A

I can not understand what is "the second reasons does not cancel out the first"

cancel out 是抵消的意思。

题目说病人不应该看自己的病历，第一个原因是要花费人力时间去取病历，第二个原因是根本没有病人要求看。题目问下列哪个正确，则第二个原因不会抵消第一个。答案A说病历的拿取是即时的，那么第二个原因才独立存在，不会抵消第一个。
