You're certainly out there. The claim of "ahead", however, is only a matter of perspective. When you look at the world anally, you might think you're going ahead, but everyone else can see the reality. Waiting for a response, when you are going backwards means that you are going away from the response you've already had. Too bad that eye's blind otherwise you'd see a bit more reality.

Just a free demonstration, while you wait for reality to sink in, that Casey probably knows he's wrong: for a translation to show signs of being a translation, it is features that are repeated that reflect a substratum (or underpinning) of the original language that needs to be demonstrated. For example in Mark the structure ο εστιν (=hoc est in Latin, ="that is") is repeated several times, reflecting a Latin idiom and it is used in conjunction with giving explanations (as one did in Latin. Those explanations include describing a haul as a praetorium and two lepta as one quadrans (a Roman coin not used in the east), so the explanations introduced with a Latin idiom also find Roman explanations. The repetition gives you some understanding of there being a Latin substratum. Casey has nothing equivalent, but there are more repeated examples from Latin. His position simply isn't rational, but Casey is the great white hope. Pop goes the balloon.

When you have super powers you get impatient with mortals.
