Pettengill claims that bebop musicians showed distaste for the classic jazz songs that they radically reshaped. In support, Pettengill says that the bebop musicians must have reshaped the songs because the original songs were not interesting to them.

Romney claims that bebop musicians actually appreciated the classic jazz songs. In support, Romney says that only compelling and versatile songs can be successfully reshaped: in choosing to reshape the songs, the bebop musicians must have recognized their merit. Furthermore, reshaping the songs allowed the bebop musicians to appreciate them in a new way.

We need to find a point of disagreement. Pettengill and Romney disagree about whether bebop musicians felt distaste or appreciation for the jazz songs they reshaped.

The speakers both agree with this statement. Each speaker talks about how bebop musicians “radically reshaped” classic jazz songs, meaning they made the songs radically different.

Neither speaker makes this claim. The discussion is about how the bebop musicians felt about jazz classics, not about which style of music is better or worse.

Pettengill disagrees with this but Romney agrees, making this the point of disagreement. Pettengill says that the bebop musicians felt “distaste” for jazz classics, while Romney argues that the musicians recognized the value of the jazz classics.

Neither speaker mentions popularity at all. The argument is about how the bebop musicians felt about the jazz classics they reshaped; the popularity of the songs is irrelevant to that.

Neither speaker gives an opinion about the stylistic influences on bebop musicians. We know that they reshaped classic songs, but neither Pettengill nor Romney says anything more about the relationship between those styles.
