Both reading and the lecture revolve around the assumptions regarding the way that Agnosids used to live and forage, according to the fossils and evidence. The writng suggests three different theories following this concept while the lecturer finds them dubious and cast doubt on the ideas mentioned in the paragraphs.
First, the article claims that the Agnosids may have been free-swimming predators because they were small enough to search for tiny organisms in the ocean and prey on them. In the contrast, the woman holds the view that the free-swimming predators usually have massive eyes with a well-developed vision to chase for food, while the Agnosids had small poorly developed eyes and some of them were even blind. Therefore, the mentioned idea about Agnosids is right due to the fact that no evidence was found about an acceptable vision level of them or a sensory organ to help them catch the prey.
Second, the writer suggests that the Agnosids were seafloor dwellers and survived by scavenging dead organisms or grazing on bacteria. On the contrary, the lecturer points out that the sea floor dwellers did not have the ability to move very fast for a long distance, thus, they were slow creatures whose habitats were small and limited. Yet, the fossil-based evidence shows that the Agnosids used to be tiny and could move fast for long distances. So this hypothesis is also wrong.
Furthermore, The author states that there is the possibility that Agnosids were parasites, living, and feeding from large organisms. Conversely, the speaker holds the view that parasites have a small and limited population while on the other hand, Agnosids had a large population based on the amount of discovered fossils. So this theory, like all aforementioned possibilities is worthless.
