The author claims that fossil sale to private collectors has disadvantages for both the development of science and the general public. However, the lecturer casts doubt on this point by saying that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
First, the reading asserts that the general public is affected since they do not have access to appreciate the fossils in the museums as they are bought by the private collectors. On the other hand, the lecture argues that thanks to the collectors, fossils are available for purchase by public schools and libraries, and therefore, are available for the general public.
Second, the author contends that scientific experts may lose access to fossils, therefore, potential meaningful discoveries are missed too. Nevertheless, the lecturer questions this by saying that it is not realistic. Since fossils have to pass throw scientific detailed examinations and test first. Consequently, no important information would be lost.
Finally, the author asserts that valuable scientific evidence is usually destroyed by collectors since they do not perform the field work carefully. Nonetheless, the lecturer explains that although some scientific information might be lost, it is worth it, since thanks to these collectors several fossils are found. Otherwise, many of them would never be discovered.
