Very recently I rpoposed a test. I gave an explanation
of words for wolf on the Magdalenian basis that differes
pointedly from the PIE explanations, and asked people
to point out a flaw or an impossibility in my reconstructions.
They gave up, they could not point out a violation of a PIE
sound law in my reconstruction, nor could they point out
a mistake and obvious flaw in my broader understanding
of PIE, much more differentiated in time an space than
the PIE of comparative linguistics. In short: PIE is the
evening red of Magdalenian.

What the hell is "experimental math-history"? Evidently something else
that you've made up. I just Googled the phrase and received just three
hits--all of which involve you.

A term coined by me, and a method proposed and
developed by me.

Your exercises aren't experiments.

My approach to the Ice Age language of Europe _is_
an experiment, as are the experiments of experimental
archaeology.
