All Data Insight question: TPA [ Official Guide DI Review 2023-24]
Philosophy student: Some objects that are considered beautiful by everyone who has observed them may not be, in fact, truly beautiful. To see that this is so, consider this: No one doubts that some objects that are appreciated by many people have aesthetic flaws that are discernible only to sophisticated observers. But even these sophisticated observers are limited by their finite intellects and experiences. Thus, an object that appears beautiful to the most sophisticated actual observers may nonetheless have subtle but severe aesthetic shortcomings that would make it appear hideous to hypothetical observers of even greater sophistication. Such an object would be ugly, regardless of any actual person's opinion.In general, if an object ___1___, then that object ___2___.

Elite097 this is find the assumption based like question. there is a gap : how hypothetical scenario is connected to real world ?
statement : Such an object would be ugly, regardless of any actual person's opinion.
support : an object that appears beautiful to the most sophisticated actual observers may nonetheless have subtle but severe aesthetic shortcomings that would make it appear hideous to hypothetical observers of even greater sophistication
Fill the gap between having flaw to object being ugly.
In general, if an object would appear hideous to hypothetical observers of even greater sophistication than the most sophisticated actual observers, then that object is not truly beautiful
