Museuams that house Renaisaissance oil paintings typically store them in environments that are carefully kept whthin narrow margins of temperature and humidity to inhibit any deterioration. Labotary tests have shown that the kind of oil paint used in these painting actually ajusts to climate change quite well. If, as some museum directors believe, paint is the most sensitive substance in these works, then by relaxing the standards for temperature and hunidity control, museums can reduce energy cost without risking damage to these paintings. Museums would be rash to relax those standards, however, since results of preliminary tests indicate that gesso, a compound routinely used by Renaissance artists to help paint adhere to the canvas, is unable to withstand significant variations in humidity.
My question is:
加亮部分的逻辑是不是有错误？既然sensitive，又怎么可以relaxing the standards for temperature and hunidity control
这里的sensitive是不是flexible的意思呢？？？？？？？谢谢各位大牛们！

越sensitive，越容易受（其他东西）影响，meaning 别人变，它越容易变

sensitive 和 flexible，基本可以理解为反义词

可是原句的意思就是：paint容易受到外界的影响，所以可以通过放松对温度和湿度的标准来降低museum的花费。这不有违逻辑么？因为如果易受影响，那就要严格标准啊？

您主观的认为越sensative就越容易受影响，可是原文就认为越sensative，就可以放宽标准。后面不也是说这种做法是草率的了嘛。咱们有时容易主观去判断，要根据原文给的来判断

lz，加亮部分的前一句是说，图书馆人员已经测试过painting上用的paint oil 事实上是可以适应一系列气候变化的。那么，如果按照人们所相信的，paint果真是最敏感最容易受影响的，museum可以放宽松标准（潜台词：我们已经测试过了paint都可以适应，别的没这么敏感的更可以适应，可以放宽标准）

原来如此！！多谢！！！
