还是加强。。。

In tests for pironoma, a serious disease, a false positive result indicates that people have pironoma when, in fact, they do not; a false negative result indicates that people do not have pironoma when, in fact, they do. To detect pironoma most accurately, physicians should use the laboratory test that has the lowest proportion of false positive results.

Which of the following, if true, gives the most support to the recommendation above?

(A)    The accepted treatment for pironoma does not have damaging side effects.
(B)    The laboratory test that has the lowest proportion of false positive results causes the same minor side effects as do the other laboratory tests used to detect pironoma.
(C)    In treating pironoma patients, it is essential to begin treatment as early as possible, since even a week of delay can result in loss of life.
(D)    The proportion of inconclusive test results is equal for all laboratory tests used to detect pironoma.
(E)    All laboratory tests to detect pironoma have the same proportion of false negative results.

要加强To detect pironoma most accurately,physicians should use the laboratory test that has the lowest proportion of false positive results.这个结论，为什么是E 没有转过这个弯儿。。。

if you have to choose a job, either company A or B, which one do you prefer?

company A: bad salary & bad insurance

company B: bad salary & no insurance
================================
BTW, at first I thought (A) supports the argument as well, but the word "damaging" is too extreme.

一个lab好不好，有两个因素，一个因素是false negative  一个是 false positive
文中结论说physicians should use the laboratory test that has the lowest proportion of“     false positive  ” results.
那么无论题目问的是假设还是加强，既然比较的是false positive,那么前提都要保证 fase negative是一样的。
(E)    All laboratory tests to detect pironoma have the same proportion of false negative results.
E说的正好就是这一个问题。
