Lenore: It is naive to think that historical explanations can be objec

Victor's response does not succeed as a rebuttal of Lenore's argument because his response

my ideas were that those who identified those biased sources are actually driven by their own national, political, and class loyalties, thus making them biased as well.

only answer choice E directly states that. other ones do not come even close.

(A) displays the same kind of biased thinking as that against which Lenore's argument it directed
two opposed ideas, so not same kind of thinking.

(B) does not address the special case of historians who purposely distort evidence in order to promote their own political objectives
irrelevant.

(C) fails to provide examples of cases in which biased thinking has been detected and the source of that bias identified
examples are not needed.

(D) does not consider sources of bias in historical explanation other than those that are due to national, political, and class loyalties
irrelevant. biased source is biased, regardless of what are the presumed causes.

(E) overlooks the possibility that those who detect and identify bias are themselves biased in some way
good.
