That's not what he is implying.

He is saying that a gene (T-13910) that arose just 10 kya in a place
far away from Franco-Cantabria is present at high levels among the
Basque. Ergo, they are not a perfectly isolated remnant of pre-LGM
Europeans.

Beyond that, he is asking (I think rhetorically), if T-13910 entered
the Basques in the past 10 ky and became dominant, what rules out the
possibility that R-M269 did the same thing?
