The passage and lecture both discuss three assumptions around copper vessels. The passage provides three supports to hold up the hypothesis of electricity in ancient copper vessels.
In contrast the speaker states that the justifications of reading are not convincing and demonstrates some arguments.
Firstly, the reading section posits that there are no wires around ancient site therefore, vessels were not connected to batteries. In fact they produce electricity themselves without using some electric devices. On the other hand, the lecture refutes this idea and mentions that local people may throw away wires or other electric instruments that they found. Indeed, they do not know archeology details consequently we cannot trust their survey.
Secondly, the text indicates that copper cylinders that have found in jars are look like the copper cylinders that discovered in Seleucia. So, we can understand that they were used for holding scrolls too. In other words, the both of them were not generating electricity. Otherwise, the woman denies this and points out that the possible fact is when the ancient people mixed iron and liquid together they could reach first batteries.
Thirdly, the author claims that they had no instrument that had ability to response on electricity. As batteries, the vessels could have been useless to them. On the contrary, the lecture opposes this and states that ancient doctors used batteries for medical issues. For instance when they wanted to give mild shocks they touched it.
