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.

我选了c，e选项看不明白。读题目的时候没有看出来原文有什么漏洞需要批评的，谢谢！！！

C的personal attack????哪里有啊？？？？

E的意思是argument没说明研究megatelescope的应用价值值得跟牛顿等研究的应用相比。如果不能比的话，也就是说megatelescope没有像RADIO等一样的beneficial applications，那"dangerous point of view"就成立了。

明白了，谢谢。

我居然没有读懂文章。呵呵呵
