A typical picaresque response.  You would be fantastic in the role of Professor Zoltan Karapathy's in  Pygmalion.  He thought he was an expert in "linguistics " too. 
 
BTW, you seem to be obsessed with "Ruhlen" . . . you insert his name in messages left and right.  Take a deep breath, you need to chill out and open your mind.
