PT14.S2.Q8 - Why Can't It Be E?

I'm struggling to note why the E choice does not also fit the bill. Since it eliminates a potential threat to the argument - and it also would weaken the argument if it were true.

To be sure: 14-2-8 is about American vs. Soviet academic freedom/method of reasoning question, correct?

(E) is incorrect because it is not descriptively accurate. The argument does not draw a different conclusion from the editorial, the argument merely asserts that the editorial should have done some more explaining.
