The passage and the listening presents a contrasting view for the accuracy of Chevalier de Seingalt's memoir. The author of the passage believes that there are three possible explanations about the memoir being fake. The lecturer challenges the statements made by the author. He is of the opinion that Chevalier did not lie in his memoir.
First of all, the author suggested that Chevalier was poor even though he showed himself to be rich. The passage also mentioned that even though he gambled and appeared to be wealthy while he was in Switzerland, he borrowed a huge amount of money from the Swiss merchant. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. She says that he owed huge acres of land which he later sold in order to get money. Furthermore, she argues that while he was selling the lands, he had no money in hand hence he borrowed some money for the time being.
Secondly, the passage explains how the conversation between Chevalier and Voltaire might not be accurate. The article notes that the conversations took place a very long time ago, so it is impossible to specify each conversation accurately. The lecturer however rebuts this by asserting that Chevalier wrote his conversations with Voltaire every night later and kept them for many years. He elaborates on this by mentioning that there were witnesses who lived with Chevalier to confirm this fact.
Finally, it is stated in the article that Chevalier's escape was not the way he described it. The author explains that it was impossible to get out of the jail alone, so he took the help of the powerful political people.The lecturer on the other hand posits that there were other prisoners who were related to more powerful political people, but never could get out of the jail. He puts forth the information that witnesses confirmed the fact that the prison cell in which Chevalier was held, the ceiling of that room had to be renovated, thus confirming that he escaped.
