Excellent demonstration of my point:
and so what - it's the mobbing game
that counts for you, not scientific work.

What could such evidence look like?

You thought you don't need evidence
for the PIE etymology of bear as the
brown one? the brown one is found
in every textbook ergo self-evident?

Why don't you answer the question? What sort of evidence would
convince you either that bear is the brown one or that bear is not the
furry one?

Why don't you research the history of the discussion of the "bear"
etymology and learn why philologists nearly two centuries ago decided
to connect it with "brown," and then refute their arguments? (The
first place to look might be Pauly-Wissowa. You might also try going
directly back to Pott, whose Etymological Investigations seem to be
fully available on google books.)
