In addition to the explanation given in the video for (E), here's another way to think about why (E) is the right answer. The Commentator relied on an appeal to the principle that one shall not impugn one's adversary's motives to establish his charge against Roehmer. But in his very argument, he violates that principle. So he's vulnerable to the very same criticism that he's charging Roehmer with. So, you or I could come along and say to him, which is it Commentator? Impugn okay or impugn not okay? If impugn not okay, then your argument fails because it impugns. If impugn okay, then your main argument against Roehmer fails. You lose either way. That's what (E) calls out, the inconsistency in the reasoning.
