Writing and lecture are both about "quackers", which are unusual sounds detected by Russian submarines, between 1960 and 1980, while navigating in the North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean. On the one side, the writer suggests three theories regarding the provenience of those sounds. On the other hand, the lecturer cast doubts on the claims made by the author, stating that his hypotheses are somewhat inaccurate when compared with real facts.
First, the author says that sounds came from underwater sources and they were cause by whales because both sounds are alike, but the speaker rejects this because Orca whales live on the surface. Moreover, these animals can be detected by sonar, but Russians were unable to notice anything on the radars. Hence, the author's standpoint is not plausible.
Second, giant squids have always inhabited that area, and even today these can be noticed there. The passage sustains that noises could be heard for two decades, and aftermath they totally halted. Thus, there is no reasonable motif to explain why they stopped, since squids presence is still a current fact. So, this argument confutes one of the passage's theory.
Third, it is impossible that another states' submarines to be responsible for the sounds. This is due to the fact that the technology was not that advanced, so nobody could have build undetectable machines. Furthermore, the sounds were moving around fast, and even today engineers cannot build such fast and silent submarines. Therefore, is unrealistic to believe that such advanced technology could have been possible in the past. To summarize author and speaker seem to be in total disagreement regarding this topic.
