Some astonishingly broad claims are made on the basis of even more
astonishingly thin data. Greenberg's mass comparisons is just taking
other guys' dictionaries (and all the errors in them) and comparing
word lists. It's a place to start, but no more than that.

Everyone, even you Glen, seems to enjoy picking on Merritt Ruhlen, but
from my perspective, you all suffer from Ruhlen's syndrome. You guys
are spinning language families out of nothing.
