If a person apparently can’t tell the linguistic differences between the Hebrew used in Genesis and the Hebrew used in a modern Israeli newspaper, how trustworthily can we take his pronouncements concerning linguistics?

Ps: since “I fully agree with you that "Reason works in math, not linguistics."” then why do you appeal to reason?

Pps: I see no use to continuing this discussion.

Do you really have "recorded sources" as evidence to support your claim that: "King David would be hard pressed to understand a single sentence in spoken modern Hebrew."? Are these sources explicit about the king being possibly "hard pressed"?
