[Article] Proposed solution by Gerard Chesire

[Koen G]

Now he said that all "proper linguists" agree with him and he gets only negative feedback from "enthusiasts". 

(Seriously I have a degree in historical linguistics... proper linguists..... )

Edit: so I told him I'm at least a semi-proper linguist and I still think his method and results are flawed, and he replies:

Interesting - in that case you should be more impartial and willing to take a leap of faith that I am correct. That way, you'll know either way by empirical means rather than taking a prior stance.

As I've said, I am not a VM enthusiast, so my statement holds no bias. Therefore, you should conclude that I would have no reason to present a solution if it weren't correct.

And, on that basis you should conduct your own investigation of my solution to see for yourself. Be prepared for some hard work though, as it takes a lot of research - I mean several hours to locate a single word sometimes. Remember, forget the VM myth and focus on the science.

I have dedicated my life to science.

I'm done.
