Untermensche, I thought that I had explained my background to you before. I earned my PhD in linguistics back in 1973 and have been professionally employed as such until retirement in 2012, although I still do some work part time. Quite a few of my teachers were first generation students of Chomsky's, and I am more or less acquainted with most of their peers and colleagues. I have taught courses on language acquisition to both graduate and undergraduate students. My understanding of your background is that you have never taken a single course in linguistics. So I think that your assessment of what I know about Chomsky and his theories may be just a tad off. Worse yet, your assessment of what you understand of Chomsky is much more than a tad off.
I have followed Chomsky since around 1985. I have read almost everything he has written on language and politics.
I have watched just about every recorded lecture he has made since the mid 80's.
You do not understand his ideas.
