A school creates a rule that any student scoring high on one of three scales—distress, dysfunction, or deviance—will be labeled as having a psychological disorder. Which objection is strongest?
A
The rule treats contextual factors as automatic diagnostic cutoffs and ignores how the full pattern should be interpreted.
B
The rule is invalid only because it includes distress.
C
The rule is accurate whenever each scale contains ten questions.
D
The rule should use deviance alone because norms never vary.
