Thanks for the comments, Drew.
We are in full agreement about the necessity of an integrated approach. We would just say that, in our view, our research makes dubious any connection between the language of the MT and that of "original authors" in their historical setting. We therefore consider language one of the less useful parts of the dating puzzle.
