Is GMAT Quant really a math test? Many test takers approach GMAT Quant with one of two beliefs: either “I’m not a math person, so I’ll struggle,” or “I’m good at math, so Quant should be easy.” But the GMAT often surprises both groups. - Aug 18

Generally, it is important that people practice what they preach, yet there are exceptions. For instance, it is no more necessary for logicians to be logical in their discussions of logic than it is for physicians to have healthy lifestyles in order to treat people.
A questionable aspect of the reasoning above is that it fails to take into account that
(A) logicians' being illogical in their discussions of logic constitutes incompetence, whereas physicians' having an unhealthy lifestyle does not
(B) if a physician's health deteriorates badly, the physician may not be able to treat patients effectively
(C) physicians who are incompetent to practice medicine can cause more harm than can logicians who discuss logic illogically
(D) it is more difficult to become logical in one's discussions of logic than it is to modify an unhealthy lifestyle
(E) although it is not necessary for logicians to be logical in order to be competent to discuss logic, it is highly desirable

This assumption is flawed. Being logical in discussions of logic is the core professional skill of a logician. If a logician is illogical, they are actively failing at their job (incompetence). On the other hand, a physician's job is to apply medical knowledge to patients;

A questionable aspect of the reasoning above is that it fails to take into account that
The argument compares logicians being illogical while discussing logic to physicians having unhealthy lifestyles. The flaw is that these are not parallel. A logician being illogical in a logic discussion directly undermines the logician’s competence, while a physician’s unhealthy lifestyle does not necessarily undermine the physician’s ability to treat patients.
(A) logicians' being illogical in their discussions of logic constitutes incompetence, whereas physicians' having an unhealthy lifestyle does not
This is correct. Being logical is central to competently discussing logic. But living healthily is not required for competently practicing medicine. So the analogy fails.
(B) if a physician's health deteriorates badly, the physician may not be able to treat patients effectively
This is not the main flaw. The argument is about unhealthy lifestyle, not extreme physical inability to work.
(C) physicians who are incompetent to practice medicine can cause more harm than can logicians who discuss logic illogically
This is irrelevant. The issue is not which kind of incompetence is more harmful.
(D) it is more difficult to become logical in one's discussions of logic than it is to modify an unhealthy lifestyle
This is not relevant. The argument is not about how difficult the two things are.
(E) although it is not necessary for logicians to be logical in order to be competent to discuss logic, it is highly desirable
This supports the argument’s assumption rather than exposing the flaw. The correct criticism is that being logical is necessary for competent discussion of logic.
