It is based on the hypothesis that in the steppes an Indo-European language was spoken, nowadays in the steppes a satem language is spoken of the balto slava family but in the initial age of bronze, what was spoken? Was it from the centum satem?
I don't think that matters much. What matters is that all satem and all centum languages of modern or ancient times are clearly related and clearly come from the same source (and not a source that ancient as 5,000 BC, in glottochronological terms), and also they share much more features among themselves, even across those binary categories, than they share with the Anatolian IE branch, which is clearly by far the most divergent.
