There are major problems I see with David’s criticism. To list a few:
One that I note, namely, that the difference between a dialect and a
cognate language is only one of degree, not of kind.
So when he uses a
dialect as an argument to try to prove his point, it is the same kind
of argument as if he had used a cognate language, differing only in
degree.
That he absolutely refuses to acknowledge that fact (his
example of “plod”) undermines his argument. That’s why I stopped
responding to him.
