The author of the reading passage demonstrates three different theories about how agnostids lived or behaved, while the lecturer in the lecture is opposed to all of them.
To begin with, the author claims that agnostids could be free-swimming predators hunting smaller animals. Yet the lecturer refutes that it is true that they were skilled swimmers, but the lack of large eyes prevents them from being strong predators. As we know, vision is one of the most important ability for a predator to detect their preys acutely and effectively, while all the primitive agnostids owed are tiny and poor developed eyes, and worse still, they might be blind sometimes. Therefore, some special senses are necessary for agnostids to prey if the first hypothesis is correct, which, however, has not been proved by any fossil evidence.
Moreover, the author believes that the seafloor may have been where the agnostids dwelled. On the contrary, the lecturer rebuts that typical seafloor dwellers can only move slowly and live locally, and therefore they usually occupy a small area rather than spreading to new ones. However, many agnostids inhabited multiple areas that cover great distances. This indicates that they were able to move fast and far, which is a highly unusual ability for common seafloor dwellers.
Finally, the author puts forward that it is possible that agnostids were parasites. Instead, the lecturer retorts that the fact that agnostids had large population rules out such a possibility. Parasites, living on larger organisms, are considerably limited in population not only because the fierce inter-species competition for resources but also because too many of them can kill the host subsequently. But many agnostids species that scientists have found are vast fossil individuals, which makes it impossible for them to exist as parasites.
