[QUOTE]Originally posted by basicbows: [QB] No, I have no expertise in linguistics; but then, unlike you, I never claimed any. That's beside the point. A "layman" can challenge any "expert" if the so-called expert violates rules of logic, coherence, and truth-telling. I'm not accusing you of these(to be honest, I haven't read your posts that carefully), but the salient fact about your arguments is how "wild" they are i e you dispute the notion that Tocharian is IE, and that's just one drop in the bucket. I know that an "argument from authority" is typically weak, but, given my ignorance of linguistics, I must ask: Why have you published so little in linguistic journals, and why are there no reviews of your work? Could it be that you're not taken seriously? I do know enough about all this to state that your views are highly eccentric, to say the least. Yeah, I know, Galileo was considered eccentric, too, but in 99 out a hundred instances the eccentric is wrong and the mainstream right. It's the rare case of the eccentric being right that catches our attention, and we tend to forget the other 99. [/QB][/QUOTE]
