Your 'demonstration' (as quoted above) is circular. What's
more, if the existence of that common ancestor *could* be
demonstrated, it wouldn't matter whether Basque and Etruscan
shared phonological developments.

I disagree.

Languages are *especially* related
because they share the *same* phonological
developments.
This is one of the basics of comparative
methodology.
I'm afraid you are such a backward sceptic
you prefer burning the methods and basics
rather than acknowledging you are wrong.
