It is slighly more amusing than alcohol and drug
addiction. In a moment of sobriety the victim
can see the absurdity of his actions but that insight
never last long enough to overcome the sense of
power and well being that self-delusion can create.

The Lorentz etherists are impotent without their
parlour tricks and paradoxes so it is pointless
to offer logical interpretation.

What magical power can one wield uttering mundane
statements like:

"All inertial frames are totally equivalent
for the performance of all physical experiments."

Two kids playing a game of catch-ball on an
aeroplane won't even be impressed with that. ;-)

Evidently you have something to "get over"! As Einstein emphasized,
SRT *kept* Maxwell-Lorentz electrodynamics (although it was later
enhanced with QM). MMX did *not* change how Lorentz and Einstein
thought about light. Evidently MMX affected how *you* think about
light, but that's irrelevant in a discussion about how SRT "corrected
the MMX math". ;-)

:)) And our excuse that an airplane isn't a perfect inertial frame?

I don't understand that point. Even if you ignore the orbital motion
of the Earth, the surface of the Earth is moving at over 400 meters
per second.

Replace this troublesome device with a spring and weight,
shielded from the corrosive 'elements' and that excuse might
merit some consideration.
