He wouldn't be alone. Okay, you believe that this theory has merit, lets devise a test shall we?
BTW on Habiru, and who the Habiru were..we have a bunch of names for people like this today. We don't use them in public. Thats what Habiru meant in practice to the egyptians. They were described as people of all kinds from many places, who were all outlaws, rebels, invaders or nomads...but importantly different from Egyptians. Read "Habiru" like a certain word that begins with an N and ends with bigotry.

Notice that both of these groups are given similar names (in meaning) and both were considered as candidates for an early Israel. There are important distinctions between the two, habiru "sounds" similar, the Shasu are actually called "The Shasu of YWH", but that's where similarity ends. The exodus did not occur, at all.
(Don't even ask why I cared to learn this stuff...except to say to say that the middle east was one of the birthplaces of ag, and so it became one of my side interests)
