The trouble is, we are not talking of Ergative languages in general, but of
PIE, for which we do have specific information, which certainly might not
apply to other languages or language groups - such as the morphology &
syntax of neuters outside Hittite, and the existence of an animate/inanimate
distinction within Hittite.   The fact that these facts are not necessary
facts in all ergative languages does not invalidate them as facts in PIE.
