The lecturer rejects the ideas made in thereading passage involved in the selling fossils in commercial markets. In heropinion, the benefits bring out by the selling fossils overweighs the negativeeffects with the following reasons. Tostart with, rather than preventing the public from seeing theses fossils as thereading states, the professor holds the view that the selling of fossilsincrease the exposure to the public, cause any institution who is capable ofbuying it like the library and private schools can purchase them and show it tothe public. secondly, the professor challenges the idea that scientists are likelyto have free access to some of the most important fossil. Actually, as theprofessor claims, we have no idea whether a fossil is important or not beforeidentified by the scientists, so even a fossil is doomed to be owned by aprivate collector, it is passed through to the scientists at first. In thatcase, it is unfair for for the reading passage to judge that the selling offossils would hammer the scientific research. Atlast, the lecture rejects the idea that commercial fossil collectors destroyvaluable scientific evidence in the fossils. The professor reminds us that eventhere are damages caused by the private collectors, most of it can becountervailed by the efforts make by them in excavating fossils, the professoremphasize that it is better to have incomplete but large quantity of fossilthan have limited ones. Inconclusion, the lecturer raises some point that cast doubt on the accuracy ofthe reading, demonstrating that the commercial fossil activities are morebenefical than harmful. |
