The professor's lecture casts doubt on the reading by using a number of points that are contrary to wood company prohibit to do ecocertification.

The first point that the professor uses to cast doubt on the reading is American consumers do not behave in same way to every advertisements. According to the professor, people are trust worthiest to independents organize products, they distinguish between claims are independent organize and individual. However, the reading states American consumers are exposed too much advertising that people would not pay attention to ecocertification label. The point made by the professor casts doubt on the reading.

Another point that the professor uses to cast doubt on the reading is the price is not only factor for consumers. The professor point out that price is only factor for buying products when the price of one product is very high or low from other product. When there is low different price between two products, another factor is valuable for people like ecocertification label. However, the reading claims that consumer strongly motivated by price.
