The author and the lecturer both discuss "let it burn" policy and its consequences. The reading uses the example of forest fire in Yellowstone national park to illustrate that "let it burn" policy has three significant damages and it should supersede with a policy of extinguishing forest fire to suppress flames as soon as possible. However, the lecturer refutes this claim, casting doubt on every single point made by the author.
First, while the reading passage mentions that one-third of the Yellowstone's land had been scorched because of the fire, the professor believes that fire is always an opportunity for new plant species to colonize and thrive. For instance, in the scorch areas, the trees were replaced with the new smaller plants required open and unshaded space to grow. Plus, because of the high temperature, some seeds gained the chance to germinate and become new plants.
