Statistician: Changes in the Sun' s luminosity correlate exceedingly well with average land temperatures on Earth. Clearly -- and contrary to accepted opinion among meteorologists -- the Sun' s luminosity essentially controls land temperatures on Earth. Meteorologist: I disagree. Any professional meteorologist will tell you that in a system as complicated as that giving rise to the climate, no significant aspect can be controlled by a single variable. The rejection by the meteorologist of the statistician's conclusion employs which one of the following techniques of argumentation?
A: rejecting a conclusion because it is a proposition that cannot be experimentally tested
B: supporting a conclusion about a specific case by invoking a relevant generalization
C: pointing out that potentially unfavorable evidence has been systematically neglected
D: reanalyzing a correlation as reflecting the multiple effects of a single cause
Choose A, B, C or D as your solution.
