The analysis

Papers 1, 2, 5, and 9 explicitly demonstrate how computational methods (such as Bayesian phylogenetics and automated phonotactic analysis) solve complex problems in historical linguistics—such as deep-time language families, dating, and grammatical universals—that challenge traditional approaches. There are no papers refuting the claim.
