It's an informed guess, not a wild one. The proposed PIE/Thracian
correspondences form a consistent pattern and allow us to make sense of a
number of words. Your tactics are very different: kick up as much dust as
possible, ask the same questions time after time and ignore the answers till
your own confusion begins to look like universal chaos; then amidst the
tumult you have raised try to peddle your own incoherent ramblings as a
valid argument.
