Increased use of incineration is sometimes advocated as a safe way to dispose of chemical waste. But opponents of incineration point to the 40 incidents involving unexpected releases of dangerous chemical agents that were reported just last year at two existing incinerators commissioned to destroy a quantity of chemical waste material.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

【选项】Other means of disposing of chemical waste, such as chemical neutralization processes, have not been proven safer than incineration.
