Peshitta Aramaic is Middle Aramaic (which is usually dated from 200 BC to 130 AD for Israeli Jews while for Arameans from 200 BC to 200 AD).
Caruso is trying to claim that Peshitta Aramaic is Late Aramaic (which evolved in 4th century) which doesn't make any sense considering the fact that Codex Sinaiticus (330-360 AD from mid-4th century AD) and Codex Vaticanus (early 4th century AD) are translations of Peshitta Aramaic.
Here is an example from Codex Sinaiticus.
Romans 5:7-8 (H.T Anderson Translation of Codex Sinaiticus) - "For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; though for the good man perhaps some one would even dare to die; but God renders his love for us conspicuous in this, that, we being yet sinners, Christ died for us."
This error can only come from Peshitta Aramaic (Estrangela script). Check this video out.

On the top of that, Khabouris Manuscript is a copy of manuscript which can date as early as 2nd century AD.
Dead Sea "Scrolls" are considered very old. But they are criticized due to the fact that the authorship of Dead Sea Scrolls are given to Essenes of Qumran who had reputation of using old worn materials. Just like that, Greek NT manuscripts are old. But not good at all in showing any degree of originality.
The funny thing is Caruso forgot to point out is Jewish Wars Six is written in Estrangela script while the scribe writes in swadaya & serto scripts for the last part of Peshitta Tanakh in Codex Ambrosianus.
With Caruso, I feel that he lives in a fantasy world where Santa Claus really exists. It is when you tell a young child that Santa Claus doesn't exist, he/she wouldn't accept it. That is the case with him. He just can't differentiate between his fantasy and reality.
