3. Charles, an atheist, is writing a paper on the issue of prayer in public

schools. He is well acquainted with the arguments advanced by those who oppose such prayer but unfamiliar with the other side of the issue. Charles reasons that because the paper he produces will be his own, it would be not only distasteful but foolish for him to read material that he knows he disagrees with and will ultimately argue against. So he confines his research to articles and books that oppose all prayer in the schools. Do you agree or disagree with his reasoning? Explain.

3.查尔斯，一个无神论者，在写一篇关于公众学校祷告问题的论文。他很了解这个那些反对这些祷告的人提出的论证，但不熟悉问题的其他面。查尔斯解释说这个论文将是属于他自己的，阅读这些他不同意而且最终会反对的材料不仅是令他不愉快的还是愚蠢的。所以他界定他的研究在于反对所有学校的祷告的文章和书籍。你同意还是不同意他的解释？解释一下。
