- 如果曼联队能够在连续两届联赛中夺得冠军，那么球队所有队员能够获得特殊奖金。然而，曼联队今年就失去了冠军资格，所以，即使它能够在下届联赛中夺得冠军，球队中至少有些球员也不能获得特殊奖金了。 以下哪项是对上述论证最恰当的评价（）。
- Olaf Street Study
- 分析下述论证中存在的缺陷和漏洞，选择若干要点，写一篇600字左右的文章，对该论证的有效性进行分析和评论。（论证有效性分析的一般要点是：概念特别是核心概念的界定和使用是否准确并前后一致，有无各种明显的逻辑错误，论证的论据是否成立并支持结论，结论成立的条件是否充分等。） 甲：有人以中医不能被西方人普遍接受为理由，否定中医的科学性，我不赞同。西方人不能普遍接受中医是因为他们不理解中国的传统文化。 乙：世界上有不同的文化，但科学标准是相同的。科学研究的对象是普适的自然规律，因此，科学没有国界，科学的发展不受民族或文化因素的影响。将中医的科学地位不为西方科学界认可归咎于西方人不了解中国文化是荒唐的。 甲：“科学无国界”是一个广为流传的谬误。如果科学真的无国界，为什么外国制药公司会诉讼中国企业侵犯其知识产权？ 乙：从科学角度看，现代医学以生物学为基础，而生物学又建立在物理、化学等学科的基础之上。但中医的发展不以这些学科为基础。因此，它与科学不兼容，这样的东西只能是伪科学。 甲：中医有几千年的历史了，治好了那么多人，怎么可能是伪科学呢？人们为什么崇尚科学？是因为科学对人类有用。既然中医对人类有用，凭什么说它不是科学？西医自然有长于中医的地方，但中医同样有长于西医之处。中医体现了对人体完整系统的把握，强调整体观念，而系统思维，就是西医所欠缺的。 乙：我去医院看西医，人家用现代科技手段从头到脚给我检查一遍，怎么能说没有整体观念、系统思维呢？中医在中国居于主导地位的时候，中国人的平均寿命在古代和近代都只有三十岁左右。现代中国人平均寿命提高到七十岁左右，完全拜现代医学所赐。
