[b-hebrew] Synchronic or diachronic?

Members of b-hebrew seemed to be convince the diachronic studies of the Hebrew Bible are impossible.  This is just biased and ignorant.  For example, we can approximately date Psalm 29 by the Ugaritic feature of the enclitic mem in v1 as I mentioned.
 
I have no problem with synchronic interpretations as such.  But to insist that it is the only one possible flies in the face of biblical references books for one.  Even Wikipedia is diachronic.
