The article states that it is not likely that the vessels were actually used as electric batteries in ancient times and provides three reasons for support. However, the professor explains that the points stated in reading are not convincing and refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading claims that, if the vessels were used as batteries, they would probably have been attached to some electricity conductors such as metal wires. Conversely, the professor refutes this point by saying that the jars were excavated by some villagers. These local people might have found the wires, but may not have recognized the importance of that. Hence the wires might have been overlooked.
Second, the article posits that copper cylinders inside the jars were used for holding the scrolls of sacred texts, not for generating electricity. In contrast, the professor says that this reason is not really meaningful. According to the professor, the cylinders might have originally used for holding the scrolls but adapted later for some different purpose, in this case, for generating electricity when used along with iron.
Finally, the reading says that the ancient people had no devices that replied on electricity. On the other hand, the professor opposes this point by explaining that these devices might have been used for giving mild shocks. We also learn that people used to convince that they had invisible powers. Therefore, what they described as powers was may have been the electricity. Also, the electricity might have been used in healing by doctors to stimulate muscles.
In this way, the professor shows the weakness of the author's reasons.
