In the lecture, the professor discusses why the three accusations on private fossil collectors mentioned in the passage are not convincing.
To begin with, the passage claims that fossils owned by private collectors are not accessible to the public, which is regretful. Nonetheless, the speaker refutes this and argues that if fossils can be bought by private sectors, then schools and libraries are also likely to be the privates owners, which can actually make fossils more approachable to the general public.
Secondly, the lecturer rules out the arguments in the reading that fossil buyers bar scientists from working on those treasured scientific materials. As every single piece of fossil has to be evaluated for its real value by professionals before entering the market, this provides researchers with exclusive opportunity to study the fossil before it is bought by private collectors.
Finally, the instructor opposes the last idea in the reading material, which states that untrained fossil owners tend to destroy or ignore the subtle scientific evidence in fossils. Although non-scientists are likely to cause damages to the fossils, the speaker points out, their enthusiasm and ability in excavating more fossils can be beneficial to the scientific community. Without them, many fossils would simply remain under earth.
