By those standards, linguists actually consider Scots more closely related than Frisian – among those who don't simply consider it a dialect of English.
But one way of assessing the validity of a shared prehistoric change has been to consider questions of relative chronology.

For two members of a dialect continuum to enjoy an exclusive relationship (such as ‘Anglo-Frisian’) is a contradiction in terms.10 On the other hand, it will be remembered that one of the tenets of the Ingvæonic model as presented in §2.2.2 is that no two of the three languages are more closely related to each other than they are to the third.
