No it didn't.
It is easy to say "no it didn't", Could you somehow substantiate your
"re-assuring" negations?

If it did, then your conclusion would be justified. But your conclusion is false. By a reductio ad absurdum, it didn't. QED.


No, they know that they aren't cognates because unlike you who are
guessing based on superficial correspondences within what little you
know about these languages, the professional linguists have, compared to
you, an enormous body of evidence to work from, and they know these
words are from different origins.

Would you stop explaining what other (professional linguists) have done
and, for a change, start to thing with your own head?

I am. My head has learned how historical linguistics works, and it makes perfectly good sense. Your head would benefit from realizing that the results the professionals have obtained were obtained for a reason.
