The reading demonstrates some evidences which do not support usage of Greek's weapon called a burning mirror. The professor in the lecture, however, believes that these evidences are not valuable. These evidences are mainly in three aspects.
First, even though the reading explains that the knowledge of ancient Greeks did not improve enough to build that weapon, the professor argues that they made mirrors of a single sheet with small size. So that was not very sophisticated and Greeks had the potential to made.
Moreover, contrary to the statement of reading that burning mirror need a long time to send fire toward the ship. The professor contends that the claim of the reading is true just about wood but if those weapons were made of other sticky materials, this process takes few seconds even ship moving.
Finally, the reading states that burning mirror is very similar to flaming arrows so Greeks did not need to burning mirror as a new weapon. Nevertheless, the professor in the lecture proves that ships obviously saw flaming arrows but about burning mirror, they could see the mirror and by this way, burning mirror was very surprising and effective because ships were not able to detect them correctly.
