QUESTION TYPE: Weaken
CONCLUSION: We should choose the more expensive anti-counterfeiting technique, because it is more effective.

ANALYSIS: This isn’t a good argument. We don’t know how expensive the special ink is, or how big a problem counterfeiting is.

- CORRECT. This shows that some counterfeiters could produce bills with special ink that even experts could not recognize. Meanwhile, counterfeiters can’t deceive experts with micro-filtering.
