I didn't assert anything, I'm actually pointing out that your assertions are unfounded because there is no definitive proof that one came before the other. How do they know the Canaanite "El" isn't the copycat? Who cares about their supposed "evidence," your own citation says the following: "All of these stipulations and details were applied to the god later, however; it is unclear exactly when Yahweh was first worshipped, by whom, or how."
So, I'd have to say that you really need to get out of your head that you can simply assert things.
