If I wanted to know whether a website devoted to astronomy is reliable,
the best person to ask would be a professional astronomer. If somebody
who has worked in the field for decades and has a long list of
peer-reviewed publications to his credit says the website is amateurish
and contains some nonsense, his opinion should be taken seriously. The
same holds for any discipline. Jens Rasmussen is not a self-appointed
judge but a well-known expert in IE linguistics. Why don't you use this
opportunity to learn something new rather than take offence?
