I understand why E is wrong, but I don't understand why J.Y is saying in the video explanation that E is strengthening the argument since the argument suggests that if anything the effect goes away with age. In E, they are the oldest of all of the studies, and still experience nearsightedness.
Got confused by the fact that the lesson on Shallow Dip suggests that "A is typically B" also means "most As are Bs".

Would love some clarification nevertheless.
