Vocaloid:

any ideas on this? notice how the scientist is dismissing evidence just because it goes against what he previously thought. therefore, C is eliminated (he's not being open-minded to new ideas) and D is also eliminated (the conclusion he's drawing is not supported by the new evidence she found) between A+B, which one do you think is a better description of what this scientist is doing?
