The reading and the lecture are both contradict with each other, in terms of theories related to the agnostids and their living style. The author of the article presents three theories about how agnostids have lived their lives. However, the lecturer casts doubt about the claim mentioned in the article and refutes all the theories presented in the article. He says that the theories are not practical and seems very weak.

First of all, according to the reading, the agnostids may have been a free swimmer who relied on smaller animals. On the contrary, the speaker negates the argument presented in the passage. Furthermore, he discusses that other predators who were free swimmers had large and well-developed eyes which allowed them to hunt the other animals. However, agnostids had very tiny eyes and some of them were totally blind. There are chances that they might have developed special sensory in order to detect the victims but there is no such evidence shows that agnostids have a special sensor.

Secondly, the author posits that since other arthropods were living on seafloor, agnostids might have dwelled on the seafloor. Although the lecturer refutes this by asserting that the animals who live in the seafloor cannot walk faster and they prefer to stay in a specific occupied area. Whereas, the agnostids were found in multiple areas which proved that agnostids can easily move from one place to another place. Thus, agnostids might have not lived in the seafloor.

Finally, it is mentioned in the article that agnostids might be parasites who feed on large organism due to other arthropods was found as parasites. On the other hand, the speaker believes that the population of parasites were not large, so they did not have the capability to kill the host where they lived on. On the contrary, the agnostids have a large population which is not a convincing theory about the agnostids are parasites.
