Oh, no, I get that. It's just he makes it even worse for himself than he has to.

The guy who can't fathom why isolates would exist has no defense. At one time I considered condensing a video about all the things wrong with that page. And it would have been lulzy. For instance, when Europeans first came to Australia, they found hundreds of aborigine languaes, no two of which appa...
