News item: The result of a recent public survey has been called into question because one of the pollsters admitted to falsifying data. The survey originally concluded that most people in the country favor investing more money in information technologies. Because falsified data were included in the survey, its conclusion is not true; a majority does not favor more investment in information technologies. The news item's argument is vulnerable to criticism because it fails to consider the possibility that ["people's opinions about investing in information technologies can change as new technologies are developed", 'some people who responded to the survey were lying', 'the conclusion of the survey will be accepted by the public even though falsified data were used', 'the conclusion of the survey would be verified if the falsified data were excluded']
