PrepTest 68, Section 2, Question 20
A study found that when rating the educational value of specific children's television shows parents tend to base their judgments primarily on how much they themselves enjoyed the shows, and rarely took into account the views of educational psychologists as to the shows' educational value. Accordingly, if the psychologists' views are sound, parents have little reason to trust their own ratings of the educational value of children's television shows.

The argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
relies on a sample that is likely to be unrepresentative of the population with which the conclusion is concerned
takes for granted that parents do not enjoy the same sort of children's television shows that children themselves enjoy
takes for granted that the educational value of a television show should be the only consideration for a parent trying to decide whether a child should watch the show
fails to rule out the possibility that parents' ratings of the shows based on their own enjoyment coincide closely with the educational psychologists' views of the shows' educational values
takes for granted that educational psychologists are the only people who can judge the educational value of children's television shows with a high degree of accuracy
