Political Know how

Expert replies
by g000fy » Thu Oct 07, 2010 11:31 am
No one who lacks knowledge of a subject is competent to pass judgment on that subject. Since political know-how is a matter, not of adhering to technical rules, but of insight and style learned through apprenticeship and experience, only seasoned politicians are competent to judge whether a particular political policy is fair to all.

A major weakness of the argument is that it
(A) relies on a generalization about the characteristic that makes someone competent to pass judgment
(B) fails to give specific examples to illustrate how political know-how can be acquired
(C) uses the term "apprenticeship" to describe what is seldom a formalized relationship
(D) equates political know-how with understanding the social implications of political policies
(E) assumes that when inexperienced politicians set policy they are guided by the advice of more experienced politicians

imo D

political know-how = social implications of political policies (this is not supported properly only that this not technical rule application)

D is my choice... i am so dumb these days but i think i will choose D .

nobody lacking knowlege of something is well able to pass judgment on some subject.
policical knows how and learned thru experience....thus only seasoned political can judge and know what is fair for others,

all about how to make a policy or judgement and whether you understand it is so different....

Although the author relies on a generalization that in itself does not constitute a logical flaw. Thus, choice A does not describe a major weakness in the argument.

The author does however shifts from political know-how to fairness (to all). That indeed is a flaw--he treats these things as the same even though they are clearly not--a scope shift, and choice D is correct.

only option D makes sense.
As author just says that political know how, which can be acquired by learning and apprenticeship, can only understand the political policies . And that too without throwing much light on this.
Hence D is a flaw in the argument.
