You realize how lame this idiocy sounds, Peter?

Today, you are a much bigger imbecile than you were yesterday.
Tomorrow, you will be a yet much bigger imbecile than today.

One way would be to repeat the procedure for different targets with
different velocities relative to the radar system. If the formula is
correct, the data from the different targets should provide consistent
values for vi. If the formula is incorrect that is unlikely.

The following paper shows some results that have been obtained.

Anisotropy experiments aren't nullified because your anisotropy takes a
'special form'.

That is correct. And perfect isotropy of the measured speed of light
in vacuum also doesn't nullify this special form.

Thus the special plead for mediums makes its' triumphant return.
