5.       Observatory director: Some say that funding the megatelescope will benefit only the astronomers who will work with it. This dangerous point of view, applied to the work of Maxwell, Newton, or Einstein, would have stifled their research and deprived the world of beneficial applications, such as the development of radio, that followed from that research.

If the statements above are put forward as an argument in favor of development of the megatelescope, which one of the following is the strongest criticism of that argument?

(A) It appeals to the authority of experts who cannot have known all the issues involved in construction of the megatelescope.

(B) It does not identify those opposed to development of the megatelescope.

(C) It launches a personal attack on opponents of the megatelescope by accusing them of having a dangerous point of view.

(D) It does not distinguish between the economic and the intellectual sense of “benefit.”（E）

(E) It does not show that the proposed megatelescope research is worthy of comparison with that of eminent scientists in its potential for applications.

答案我算是蒙对了，但读来读去，还是没能完全理解这个逻辑思路，请大家帮忙分析分析。

可能字体有点小，但我改不到，请见谅。

argument says it's justifiable to construct the telescope. The reason is that those other famous scientist also invented benifitial application.

The reason can't be valid unless the author shows telescope research is comparable with other scientist research.

by citing the subsequent technology advance benifited from the former research done by an array of eminent scientists, the director implied that mega telescope also holds the equivalent potential for indirect benifit.

but nothing did he offer to demonstrate the two are comparable in nature.

言下之意， 菜鸟焉能与大牛相提并论呼。
