The reading and the speaker discuss selling fossils for private owners from different perspectives. The speaker negates all the ideas has mentioned in the article. He says that the advantages of commercial fossils greatly outweigh it disadvantages.
First of all, the author of the reading points out that people suffer a lot because private collectors do not allow them to view their collections. This point is challenged by the speaker. He restates the fact that since the private owners hunt the fossils for trade, they bring people many chances to see the fossils. Moreover, they tend to show their collections in public school or library routinely.
Secondly, the author of the reading contends that scientists lose the access to some significant evidence. Therefore, they miss important potential to discover the extinction of life forms. The speaker rebuts this idea by saying that before the commercial trade the fossils, the fossils need to be examined and evaluated by scientists first. Therefore, scientists do not lose any chance to detect the life forms from the fossils.
Finally, the author of the reading states that private fossils collectors ruin the valuable scientific evidence with the fossils they excavate because they are untrained and uninterested in document that disclose about animal life in the past. The speaker, on the other hand, opposes this point by saying that is it better to have some unearth fossils than completely keep them in undiscovered.
