Economist: Although open-source software has gained popularity in the last couple of years, its usefulness is quite limited. This is because the most creative ideas come from professional software designers, not volunteers.
Journalist: I, too, was once skeptical about whether open-source software would become a permanent feature of our world. However, I realized that this article could not have been produced without the open-source software volunteers who allowed me to interview them.
The journalist's response to the economist is flawed for which of the following reasons?
A The journalist has changed his mind about open-source software, making his response invalid.
B The journalist refused to interview any professional software designers for his article.
C The journalist does not address the economist's argument that professional software designers are more creative than volunteers.
D The journalist has written a series of articles on software development.
E The journalist does not discuss the popularity of open-source software.
