Rate the following argument fragment on its writing, argument, and language skills:
Evidence: While writing on what would be necessary for travel and observation of Venus, the author states "a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions...[and be] survivable for humans.

However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions...[Also,] standard forms of photography...[would be] innefective...Therefore, sciendtists seeking to...understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks"(5).

By stating that "a vehicle hovering over Venus" would be safe for humans and then directly stating that it would not be enough and that scientists who want useful information would have to "get up close and personal despite the risks", the author states conflicting ideas.

In addition, earlier in the passage the author states "On the planet's surgace, temperatures average over 800 degrees"(3).

This creates another serious flaw in the author's idea, because the conditions stated are not even close to survivable.
