Rather, it just upholds the Null Hypothesis that there is no connection until proof of the opposite--which should go without saying. Anyway, it might be a red herring, because absence of evidence is not evidence of absence; vice-versa, evidence might as well be coincidence, as for Afro-Asiatic ma-, mu-, given that these phones are exceedingly common, cp. Mama. | |
