121. Observatory director: Some say that funding the mega telescope 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 satisfied 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 mega telescope, 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 senses of “benefit”.

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

参考思路:指出推论错误。

(E) It does not show that the proposed mega telescope research is worthy of comparison with that of eminent scientists in its potential for applications. 举的例子不具有可比性

题目没看懂,尤其是This dangerous point of view, applied to the work of Maxwell, Newton, or Einstein, would have satisfied their research and deprived the world of beneficial applications, such as the development of radio, that followed from that research.

请哪位牛牛解释一下。谢谢啦

一些人认为投钱在mega telescope仅仅对研究它的astronomers有好处,但是这样的观点应用于Maxwell, Newton, or Einstein是不行的,那么这些人就会仅满足于他们的研究的理论(而不会去做研究他们的应用),也就不会有Radio这样的基于这些研究的衍生产品的出现了。

Weaken:原文中对比的两者没有可比性。

(E)直接说mega telescope根本不具有潜在的应用可能,和Maxwell, Newton, or Einstein研究的东东根本没有可比性!

我觉得,applied to the work of Maxwell, Newton, or Einstein,修饰point of view,
句子主干就是This dangerous point of view would have satisfied their research and deprived the world of beneficial applications. (deprive of固定搭配,剥夺).
我感觉楼上说的不太对......
