You're right that 'more efficient' would have been a better choice of words. However, the correct answer choice does not have to be 100% provable; rather, we just need the answer choice to be the one that both authors would most likely support.
While (E) does require an inference, it is still the most reasonable one that we can make. Which answer choice did you choose instead of (E)? This is also why it is helpful to definitively eliminate wrong answer choices. Sometimes, the wording on the correct answer may not be something we love, but it's still far superior when compared to the other answer choices.
Let us know which of the other answers you liked, and we can discuss why those ones are definitively incorrect.
