I agreed that it may be unlikely but my question is: is it even
possible? Certainly it goes against the mainstream theories but they
have been wrong before. But there are certain criteria that should be
able to establish whether it could even happen.
Unfortunately, I don't know what those criteria would be and I was
hoping someone here might expound on what kind of things you would
have to find in Indian languages to make this idea even worthy of
consideration.
On a related note, what kinds of things were found in Bangani and
Tocharian that made them Centum? What keys were there that showed
that Tocharian was a "late" Centum language?
