I did not say that is the only evidence to lead to that conclusion. But it is evidence. > As you said below, "origin" is there without need for set-head, Only sometimes. > so the lack of enthusiastic advocate for set-head does not mean > anything wrt how people find "origin" useful. Yes it does. Contrary to popular belief absence of evidence can be evidence of absence. If I walk around Central Park for half an hour and I don't see any elephants, that's evidence that there are no elephants in Central Park at this very moment. It is not *conclusive* evidence, but it is evidence. Just because the evidence for $x is not sufficient to prove $x doesn't mean there is no evidence for $x. -- Felipe Contreras
