So, do you think that the study I recently published in Valpovački Godišnjak and Regionalne Studije is also worse than no science? Even though it is, as far as I know, the only study that attempts to estimate the probability of certain patterns in Croatian names of places appearing by chance?
He's not saying that at all. The point, which you seem to be studiously avoiding, is that no one is required to accept a single study as established fact. As I recall, at least one actual linguist found issues with your paper, no?
I repeat: Simply because no one has formally refuted a particular find doesn't mean that find is irrefutable.
