Dear Tavie,
I expect the linguists-researchers and academicians who read my comments on this page (or in my papers) to respond (approaching my specific questions at a scientific level) or to comment or ask more specific questions. If you are not that person who needs to continue communication on this particular linguistic detail, please do not feel obliged to continue this communication in this way.
There is a word in Turkish: "laf-salatası" (word salad). We use this expression as an analogy to describe the expression style of people who touch on many different topics and think that they are speaking intelligently, but in reality, they cannot touch the main subject.
I will answer your question & comment briefly. There are structural overlaps that I have put forward, and their Turkish-specific evidence is also evident. I ask scientists what the evidence I present means as a result of scientific comparison. Moreover, if someone does not know how this type of scientific comparison should be made in comparative linguistics or how the results declared by a comparison should be read, it means that the person is not that person who can comment on this type of linguistics.
Please first look carefully at how many pages there are in the Old English texts that Shakespeare wrote nearly 400 years ago, and by what methods they were translated into today's modern English, and how many years it took. Then please make a comparison for VM texts (which that particularly & knowingly created to make it difficult to read) in your mind and keep the answer to yourself because I'm not curious.
The British Library is wrong in this approach. Statistical forms can be filled out voluntarily. If there is an option on a form to skip a detail without answering, this option will be marked more often by those who find the questions racist or discriminatory, and probably the other people will mostly answer. In other words, even the existence of such a possibility makes us understand that the survey cannot make accurate statistical or scientific measurements. If you submit this type of form before becoming a member of a library, these types of questions will definitely cause or remind you of discrimination. Let the British Library fix this themselves, I will not tell it them. Maybe in a hundred years they will see an inconsistency here and correct it. So, frankly, I think it would be better to wait and see when this mindset might see a problem in a survey of this type.
Thank you
