You’ve ‘revealed’ nothing of the kind: you’ve merely
demonstrated conclusively that you’re wholly ignorant of and
therefore completely unqualified to discuss linguistics.
This list has a long tradition of being open-minded nearly

nonsense isn’t even borderline, and I’m perfectly willing to
start rejecting it.
