Of course it does- so that brings us back to the map of the PIE
homeland which you claim Mallory presented. Did he mean it to depict
the area where he thought a mutually understandable PIE was spoken or
the areas where those mutually unintelligble daughter languages were
spoken? If you claim it was the former, I find it very odd that
nobody else has reported such an astounding reversal of Mallory's
view.

According to which homeland proposal?
