Neither the wikipedia nor the EncBritt are meant
to replace your brain or the necessity to research
_independently_ on a given topic. Caveat lector!!!
As much as I loathe being to Patrick's undeserved
defense, I have to say, David, your statement may in
fact be too dismissive.
Tyrrhenian and IE are considered by a significant
number of people to possess common grammatical
features, not just vocabulary lookalikes. These
connections have already been stated many times.
One's state of knowledge is oftentimes limited by
one's abilities to keep personal bias at bay while
exploring what may seem at the time to be
unconceivable ideas.
There's nothing immediately unlikely about IE being
closely related to another language group and
therefore nothing logically to prevent you from
exploring this topic for yourself.
