The article claims that using an ingenious weapon called a 'burning mirror' in the war between Romanians and Greeks is just a myth and provides three reasons for support. However, the professor refutes the article and each of the reasons.
First, the author poses that Greeks, in the past were not technologically professional enough to make this weapon. However, the professor opposes that ancient Greek was advanced because of meticulous mathematics who designed this device precisely. As a result, she says that mirrors were put along together accurately with a parabolic shape.
Second, the reading claims that a a burning thing with a mirror takes a long time, let alone the mega bodies of ships. However, the professor refutes the author and says that in two ways Romanian ships could be burnt just in ten minutes: first, ships were made of wood which is able to burn much easier than other materials and second, ships could burst into fire in one second because of a sticky material were used in that war.
Third, the article claims that those days, soldiers could use flaming arrows instead of the patented weapon. However, the professor says that, although the soldiers were vigor enough in using their ancient weapon the power of mirror for destroying the ships were more significant and more effective than flaming arrows
