Reading specifies that there are three reasons to suspect story of the burning mirror witch greeks were used to deffend their city. However, the professor explains that it is not impossible and inconvincing and refutes each of author's reasons.
First, the reading states that the ancient greek were not enough developed in technology to make a divice which could focus sunlight on ship to initiate fire. Nevertheles, the lecturer contradict the idea reasoning that the ancient greek have the material and could use many pieces to form a wide burning mirror.
Second, based on the reading, the burning mirror would have taken a long time to set ships on fire and also the ships were moving. In contrast, the experiment that explain in the reading was done on a wood and it last 10 minute for wood to catch a fire but we know that there was other materials on roman ships like pitch which used to water proof their ships and experiment on the pitch shows that this substance get fire in a few seconds and after that the fire spread on the ships and the facts that ships were moving, can not affect it.
Third, according to the reading, the ancient greek did not need an improvement on weapon since they had flaming arrows. On the contrary, Greeks need to use a new way instead of flaming arrows because roman were familiar with this method. Furthermore, they tried to find much more effective and surprising to start fire on the roman's ships.
Therefore, the specific points mentioned in the reading make sense.
