There is little point in looking to artists for insights into political issues. Most of them hold political views that are less insightful than those of any reasonably well-educated person who is not an artist. Indeed, when taken as a whole, the statements made by artists, including those considered great, indicate that artistic talent and political insight are rarely found together.
Which one of the following can be inferred from the passage?
(A) There are no artists who have insights into political issues.
(B) A thorough education in art makers a person reasonably well educated.
(C) Every reasonably well-educated person who is not an artist has more insight into political issues than any artist.
(D) Politicians rarely have any artistic talent.
(E) Some artists are no less politically insightful than some reasonably well-educated persons who are not artists.
OA is E, I am confused between C and E. Why C is wrong.
As per the argument, political views are less insightful than any well educated artist.
I hope we can use every instead of any, then C is saying the same thing.
Please explain.

The statement says that MOST artists hold political views that are less insightful than those of any reasonably well educated person who is not an artist. So you can't go extreme with C. E accurately says that if most artists are less insightful than non-artists, there are at least some artists that are no less insightful than non-artists.
