The lecturer disputes the author's suggested theory carved stone balls served as weapons during the Neolithic period. He provides several reasons to cast doubt about the author's claims
First, according to the reading the carved stones ball may have served as weapons for hunting or fighting. The speaker find this idea debatable. He asserts that if they have been used for this purpose, some cracks would have appeared on their surface. However, the discovered artifacts were more preserved in shape with no tears or wears. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that they have been used to hunt for animals.
The lecturer contradicts the fallacy of the passage that since carved stone balls had similar sizes, they might have been used as scales to measure food's weights. The lecturer contends that, theoretically speaking, it is unlikely that stones were used as scales since each one is made of a different kind of stone which has different density. Thus, obviously, they cannot be used as a weighing measurement tool.
Finally, the author argues that the stones have different designed to show the social status of people possessing them. Again the lecturer refutes these claims by stating that an analyses of stones showed that they have different patterns which might not represent the social status of the owners. Similarly, the stones were not found in the caves which indicate that they had no value as a valuable possession items
