Dunno. The debate is mostly academics swearing at each other and
denigrating each other's evidence, as near as I can tell.

I don't engage too much in the debate. I got my ideas, they're not
currently well-accepted, I believe that they will be pretty soon (though
possibly not within my lifetime).

To me, the question is basically whether Plato, Snorre Sturluson and the
Mahabharata are more or less reliable than a bunch of twentieth and early
twenty-first century theoreticians. That's a no-brainer.
