When trying to identify new technologies that promise to transform the marketplace, market researchers survey the managers of those companies that are developing new technologies. Such managers have an enormous stake in succeeding, so they invariably overstate the potential of their new technologies.
Surprisingly, however, market researchers typically do not survey a new technology's potential buyers, even though it is the buyers—not the producers—who will ultimately determine a technology's commercial success.
Which of the following, if true, best accounts for the typical survey practices among market researchers?
(A) If a new technology succeeds, the commercial benefits accrue largely to the producers, not to the buyers, of that technology.
(B) People who promote the virtues of a new technology typically fail to consider that the old technology that is currently in use continues to be improved, often substantially.
(C) Investors are unlikely to invest substantial amounts of capital in a company whose ov/n managers are skeptical about the commercial prospects of. a new technology they are developing.
(D) The potential buyers for not-yet-available technologies can seldom be reliably identified.
(E) The developers of a new technology are generally no better positioned than its potential buyers to gauge how rapidly the new technology can be efficiently mass-produced.
题目分析：现象解释题原文一定存在一个矛盾点，这道题中的矛盾点是：决定新技术市场的明明是潜在客户但是为什么我调查生产者不调查这些潜在的客户。问为什么。A说因为如果新技术得以应用，收益的将是producer而不是consumer，连不上，杀。B说因为老的技术方面的原因，我说新技术跟老技术有什么关系，杀。C说因为如果producer自己都怀疑投资方就不愿意投钱，很难和原文连接上，杀。D说之所以不调查这些潜在客户是因为技术在投放市场之前我很难识别出这些潜在客户。比较通顺，留着。E说producer比consumer更能决定新技术是否能大量生产，相当分裂，杀。
