You should save this phrase and keep it fresh in your memory
for any occasion in which you would be tempted to make amateurish
"judgements".

So?! What's your problem? Things do happen.

The hypothesis of PIE phonetism conservation by miracle only in
a very restricted area of DR-speaking area, whith regular forms
in all other regions, would be _by far_ more mysterious for any
person with decent scientifical background. When examples of
intermediate phonetism /pk'/ are atested in old Dacoromanian, your
allegations look even more ridiculous.

Yes, it's not an accident. It's just deep ignorance combined
with wishful thinking. Do you have any idea about phonetical
meaning of [bh] and what are its' possible evolutions in IE?!
You just produce nonsenses already replied for which you forgot
the reply. The regional confusion between [f] and [h] has been
already exposed to you, and there is still no mistery (it's a
late Romanian confusion, since [h] was reinstated in local
Romance by first Slavic loanwords and it appears in Latin words
like "fir/hir", "fier/h(i)er", etc.).
