The government has recently adopted a policy of publishing airline statistics, including statistics about each airline' s number of near collisions and its fines for safety violations. However, such disclosure actually undermines the government' s goal of making the public more informed about airline safety, because airlines will be much less likely to give complete reports if such information will be made available to the public. The reasoning in the argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
A: presumes, without providing justification, that the public has a right to all information about matters of public safety
B: presumes, without providing justification, that information about airline safety is impossible to find in the absence of government disclosures
C: fails to consider whether the publication of airline safety statistics will have an effect on the revenues of airlines
D: fails to consider that, even if the reports are incomplete, they may nevertheless provide the public with important information about airline safety
