2. Since the historical (or "genetic") relationship between, say, Hebrew and Arabic is uncertain, the rest is merely useless cooked up ideas.

you are just dodging issues.

We are back to square 1 and your dogmas.

You are unable to explain and define what it means to be a Hebrew dialect, and ** for exactly the same reasons **, you are unable to handle the issue of being a Semitic language.

To be frank, I'm getting sceptical that you have a training in maths.
Maths has principles, axioms, and methods to get from A to B without truth conditions being lost in the reasoning.
You do not appear to be comfortable with basic logic issues.

The difference between being a Hebrew dialect and being a Semitic dialect is mainly a hierarchy of inclusion.
Hebrew dialects share more linguistic features among themselves than they share with Semitic non Hebrew dialects.
Or at least they should otherwise there's a problem.
