The article talks about how commercialization of fossils and their private ownership is an unfortunate development for both - the scientist and the general public, and provides three reasons for the same. The speaker, however, disapproves of the arguments provided by the article and provides her own reasonings.
First, the article posits that private ownership of fossils prohibits the public from viewing it thus, which leading to a decline in the public's interest in fossils. The speaker, on the contrary, contradicts the argument by saying that private ownership helps in increasing the fossil's exposure to the public. She states that it is because of popularity of commerical hunting that so many fossils have been discovered in the first place. This causes many local schools and institutions to buy fossils and display them to the public.
Second, it has been said in the article that due to private ownership of fossils, scientists lose access to some of the most important fossils and thereby miss out on crucial discoveries about extinct life forms. The speaker, refutes this argument by saying that such an accusation is unrealistic. She states the fact that before putting a value on any fossil, the fossil has to pass through the hands of scientists who identify the value of the fossil by conducting tests and experiments on it. Thus, scientists don't lose any access to any important information that the fossils might provide.
Third, the article states that private owners of fossils often destroy valuable scientific evidence available in the fossil. The private owners are untrained and aren't interested in carrying out field work that might provide insight on the past animal life. Although, the speaker acknowledges the fact that private fossils owners do damage the fossils, but she argues that if it weren't for them the world would have never known about many fossils. Had the trade not been popular, many fossils would have gone undiscovered.
In sum, the speaker expresses her disapproval of the article's conclusion that private ownership of fossils' disadvantages outweigh its advantages. The speaker also provides cogent arguments to bolster her claim.
