Patrick,
If by "support" you mean material that might be
relevant in conjunction with something else,then I
would agree. The problem,however,is that the something
else is always missing. It's as if someone showed you
a brick and claimed he was about to build a house.
Then you noticed that he just had that one brick.To
my mind that's the difference between AIT (many
versions) and OIT (all versions). The former,in spite
of some areas where the evidence is less strong, is,
on the whole, a scientifically satisfactory
explanation of the IE world. The latter is sheer waste
of valuable time. I admit the bricks are sometimes
interesting. But they do not at all construct a case
for OIT.
