 :As Kazazis (1976), cited in the article, says: 
 :N makes no hard-to-swallow claims concerning the psychological reality of his posited underlying overall-pattern (diasystemic) forms, or of the rules which derive the modern phonetic representations of those forms. 
 :While it's true that diaphoneme doesn't show up (nor do diasystem or overall-pattern), it only takes a bit of common sense to look at what Newton has presented, combine it with Kazazis's characterization of it as diasystemic and our given definition(s) of diaphoneme to see that we are presented with something diaphonemic.  I hardly see this as a WP:SYNTH violation, though my understanding of the subject may be too sophisticated to see what is and is not common sense to a lay reader. —   "
