I now have an excellent idea about how, if I wish to persuade
linguists of the validity of my thesis, I must proceed.

The best method would be to actually go and do a course of studies in
linguistics. If you are not a trained linguist, you have no business
creating such theories as you are doing now. Since I am only a
graduate student, I limit myself to asking questions on sci.lang, and
don't raise propositions as if I had any sort of right to do so.
