As we all know, genetics does not equal linguistics.  I don't think
Greenberg's Amerind is even controversial in the true sense, what is
annoying is seeing the ignorant popular press still parroting it.  It
was DOA and rightly so.  Terrible, terrible work, appalling methodology,
and supreme ignorance.  Not that I have any strong feelings about it :)
