[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by basicbows: [qb] Mr Winters: Enough with this "common sense" stuff. A distraction from the real point: it's not the "amount" of evidence you proffer that supports an hypothesis; rather it's the probative validity of the evidence. It has nothing to do with my "intuition, but rather the validity of what you claim is evidence. This is where you fall short. You also make some astonishing statements: you say that linguists can't reconstruct Proto Nilo-S. Proto N-S can be reconstructed using living N-S languages, and then the attempt can be made to compare PNS to what we know of Meroitic. Look, I'm not going to read your articles, for several reasons 1)I don't have the time 2) it would take even more time to find the obscure publications you've written in 3) if the quality of your discourse is similar to what I find here, I agree with you it's a waste of time to continue this discussion. Look at your "evidence" this way, by analogy. Suppose I want to prove that the earth is constantly bombarded by sub-atomic particles generated by the sun. I could amass tons of "evidence" that is irrelevant to my hypothesis. That the sun rises in the east,that it looks yellow, that it resembles a ball of fire,that it makes me warm, that it's a certain distance from the earth, that it has planets in its orbit, etc. All of which has nothing to do with what I'm trying to prove. For example, the name "Kush" appears historically in both Asia and Africa. You assume that this term implies some sort of historical relationship. That idea was debunked long before you even thought of it. As I said at the beginning, whatever your knowledge of linguistics, you're still vulnerable to answer to faults of logic and coherence-- I noticed you won't respond to my simple query in my last post.QED. [/qb][/QUOTE][b]LOL[/b] You are wasting your time, basic. Professor Winters finds linguistic affiliations with the West African language of Mande in everything from Pelasgian of Asia Minor to Dravidian of India, to even Japanese!!
