The reading passage explores the issue of what agnostids ate or how they behaved and gives us three theories about it, the professor's lecture deals with the same issue, however, she thinks that all the three speculations have weaknesses, and she uses three specific reasons to support her idea.
First, even though the reading suggest that agnostids can be free-swimming predators, since they are related to arthropods and other types of arthropods were good at swimming. The professor argues in the lecture that most swimming predators have large eyes, this is because predators needs good vision to see preys. However, agnostids are animals with tiny eyes or even blind, and there are not other evidence proving that agnostids have other ability to detect preys, so that agnostids are unlikely to be free-swimming predators.
Moreover, contrary to the statement of the reading that agnostids may lived on the seafloor and ate dead organisms, the professor contends that agnostids are not living this way, it is the fact that seafloor animals usually do not move fast and they like occupying an area, whereas there are evidences showing that agnostids are able to move at a high speed, because researchers find their fossils within in a long distance.
Finally, the author of the reading claims that agnostids are parasites, but the professor proves this claim is indefensible by pointing out that parasites can not have large population, because organisms will be killed by parasites living on them if the population of parasites is too much. But scientists find lots of fossils of agnostids, in other words, the population of agnostids are very large, as a consequence, agnostids are not likely to be parasites.
