Is "an important shortcoming of these systems" how the systems cannot be independent to make decision which is talked in the 3rd paragraph? (or the ambiguity talked in the second paragraph?)
Thank you

Re: Q26
It's going to be the third paragraph, since that's where the case-based reasoners are discussed.
The shortcoming is brought up in line 48. It's that the criteria for similarity is fixed by the designer. The "system" itself cannot "discover...factors that make cases similar in relevant ways" (lines 55-56). Therefore (C), which involves a person adding more criteria to existing systems, would not solve this shortcoming.
(A) is out of scope.
(B) brings up a "simpler" view, which is not a comparison made or suggested
(D) is wrong because they aren't independent. The designer must program them.
(E) is wrong because the goal is the same, which is to predict case outcomes
