	Granted that there was a sect at Qumran. Granted that an 
"antilanguage"
is created by linguistic choices. And granted that there are parade examples 
of 
the anomalous character of QH. 
	However crucial to Schniedewind's argument is the determination that 
Qim-
rin's "historical argument" is not sufficient. Schniedewind wants a directed 
verdict.
I want a demurrer.
