Not really. As long as a theory is testable and falsifiable it has a shot. What have you got?

That bones alone don't make a relationship. What happened to the mesonychus characteristics of the Pakicetus? How do you explain the whale-hippo closeness with in this diagram? How does the ambolucetus come from the Pakicetus if this is the diagram of the relationship?

Note this image comes from Nature and is produced by Thewissen. --- source of the above image.
