During the period in which there are no competitive races, two runners--Runners A and Runners B--take part in an experiment measuring their VO2 max, the volume of oxygen an athlete can use. During these sessions, the runners engaged in moderate aerobic activity, or a sustained heart rate between 146-154 beats per minute. At the end of the sessions, Runner A had a greater VO2 max than did Runner B. Therefore, once the two runners begin identical intensive training--sessions involving over 168 beats per minute-- for the race season, Runner A will continue to have the greater VO2 max, assuming that neither become injured and that both train with similar intensity.Which of the following is an assumption upon which the argument rests?

Benford’s Law states that most phenomena in nature begin with ‘1’s and ‘2's. The law has been shown to apply very accurately to the amount of money listed on people’s income statements. Investigators have used this fact when investigating financial fraud, and can often determine when people have fabricated numbers, since the perpetrators will choose varying amounts so that the first number in each of those amounts is distributed evenly from ‘1’ to ‘9’. Proponents of Benford’s Law, therefore, argue that as the technique of applying Benford’s law becomes even more refined, an expert’s ability to determine whether a plaintiff has engaged in financial fraud will become as accurate in determining guilt as a fingerprint is today.Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the conclusion drawn by proponents of Benford’s Law?
