The reading specifies that there are three theories about how agnostids may have lived. However, the lecture casts doubt on those thories and brings up three main reasons to reject specific points made in the reading passage.
First, the author asserts that agnostids may be free-swimming predators. On the other hand, the lecture states that other types of free-swimming predators have large well developed eyes, but agnositids had poor eyes. So, it is unlikely that agnostids were free-swimming predators.
Second, based on the reading, agnostids may have lived like seafloor dwellers. In contrast, the lecture contradicts this claim, reasoning that seafloor dwellers do not have an ability to move fast. In fact, they move slowly, and they occupy small areas where they originated, but agnositids moved fast. Also, agnositids' fossil have been found in different areas; it shows that agnositids were not seafloor dwellers.
Third, the reading's last point states that agnositids might be parasites. Nonetheless, the professor challenges this idea by explaining that the population of parasites are not large, but the population of agnositids was very large. So, the large population of agnositids can rule out the theory that they were parasite.
