Hi Ninja, and All. I am sorry but I still cannot comprehend the questions
I would like to confirm the situation:
Argument state the method of Qualification is based on number of citation: High Citation = greater quality
Option E fully contradicts the method, since it says whether the patent's quality is high or low it would still be cited proportionately frequent
what weaken the author’s claim about what constitutes a reasonable yardstick for measuring patentquality means what weaken the base principle / method(constitutes a for measuring )
Do I interpret itright?
Your reasoning sounds correct!
As you suggest, the author claims that the "number of times a patent is cited" is a reasonable yardstick for patent quality. In other words, more citations means greater quality. But if low quality patents are discussed just as frequently as high quality patents, that would weaken this claim. And for that reason, (E) is correct.
I hope that helps!
