In the lecture, the professor discusses and refutes all the apparent reasons adduced by the author on the plausible sources of what is called "quackers", i.e. frog croak-like sounds heard by Russian submarines in the range 1960s to 1980s. The lecturer proffers several demonstrable facts that are in direct contradiction with those argued by the reading passage. These are recapitulated in what follows.
First, the professor finds the “orca whales’ theory” as a possible source for those uncanny sounds specious. Although she accedes that there is a considerable population of that species in an area in the vicinity of the hearing-spot location, she brings forward two other facts gainsaying that supposition. First, this genus of whales normally lives in the propinquity of the surface, not in the patrolling range of submarines, i.e. far beneath the ocean surface. Second, if the sound really belonged to whales, those should be detected by submarines' radars.
Second, the "squid hypothesis" is highly unlikely in the professor's opinion because squids have always lived and they are continuing living in the oceans till/until now but the quackers were only heard for two decades. Thus, since this species is still extant, it cannot be the true source for those peculiar sounds.
Third, the espionage speculation which posits that those sounds originated from other countries' U-boats is equivalently unconvincing because the source of those quackers was moving rapidly and changing its direction capriciously. Moreover, submarine engines are usually audible but there is no report available regarding hearing engine sound. Thus, since the required technology to manufacture such quiet engines for submarines was not available at that time and is still unreachable even with the modern advancements achieved in the last 40-50 years, this last theory is similarly unbelievable.
