The reading states that critics have raised doubts about the accuracy of the memoir as they claim that Chevalier distorted and invented many events and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor states that the memoir is reliable as a historical source. and successfully refutes three reasons presented by the reading.
First, the reading states that Chevalier was not rich, thus did not gamble. Byt, the professor refutes this idea stating that he had properties in Switzerland. It took time to sell those properties. So, sometimes, he borrowed from someone and gambled. he later paid and this does not mean, he was poor.
Second, the reading states that critics are skeptical about the accuracy of the conversations that the Chevalier records in the memoir between himself and the famous writer Voltaire. The professor contends this point stating that Chevalier used to write everything he remembered and kept doing for many years. His friends confirmed it. They also suggest that Chevalier kept those journals in a very safe place.
Second, the reading avers that critics have questioned the memoir's account of the Chevalier's escape from a prison in Venice, Italy as they think that he used his political friends to get out from prison. But, the lecture argues that other prisoners had more powerful friends and they were unable to break. He also states that a government document had been found which states that prison authorities had to repair the ceiling after Voltaire escaped.
That's how the professor refutes the main three reasons provided by the reading.
