Q25 - Sasha: Handwriting analysis should

[b91302310]

For (C), I don't quite understand what it means by "restricting the class to which it is to be applied". Could anyone explain it?

Thanks!

You mean (B), I guess?

Tough choices! At first glance, perhaps they all seem bad.

(B) The word "principle" is a bit uncomfortable here. I would look back to see which statement it is that he "defends," or, in other words, supports. His argument basically looks like this:

p: The use of handwriting analysts is problematic, but only because there is no licensing board.

c: When there's a board, handwriting analysis by licensed practitioners will be legitimate.

This last part is what is meant by "restricting" the class. He defends the idea that handwriting analysis is legitimate by "restricting" that legitimacy to licensed analysts, as opposed to saying that all analysts are legitimate.
