Sorry, but debate-club arm-wrestling stances do not elicit engagement
just because you want it to be so.

You are asserting it is wrong. Prove it. Burden is on you.

I haven't discounted them.

The description of the specific events only serves to illustrate that
it is the moving clock that runs slow compared to the stationary
clock.

Assuming that they weren't synchonized in my general description of
"the moving clock runs slow" would be arbitrary and illogical.
Remember I was talking about _the_ clock, in reference to the moving
clock described in "Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies", not to a clock
in an arbitrary system.

No, it isn't a missing detail, it is an implication of Einstein's
first postulate of relativity.

Here is Einstein's description of the clocks:

"If at the points A and B of K there are stationary clocks which,
viewed in the stationary system, are synchronous; and if the clock at
A is moved with the velocity v along the line AB to B, then on its
arrival at B the two clocks no longer synchronize, but the clock moved
from A to B lags behind the other which has remained at B ..."

Let us call the moving system K', in which the moving clocks at A' and
B' are synchronized for an observer in K'. The stationary system K
also has two clocks, but these two clocks are synchronized for an
observer in K. Frames K and K' move at a constant velocity with
respect to each other.

If there is no preferred frame of reference then there is no reason
why the clocks at A' and B' cannot also be synchronized for an
observer in K', just as the clocks at A and B are for an observer in
K, due to the symmetry of the two frames and their respective clocks.

"debate-club arm-wrestling stance" is about as meaningful as "comic-
book description".

You disregard the common law just as Einstein's first postulate
disregards the laws of nature.

No .. it doesn't. You've never shown one. All you've shown is you do not
understand the theories derived from the principle

They are no. You just don't understand it, and so you therefore declace it
to be impossible .. even though you have no evidence to support that calim

Try again .. they are NOT the postulates of SR

Your logic does not apply to SR, because they are NOT the postulates of SR
and there is no contradiction in SR.

I notice you STILL ignore my offers to show you the math .. You just do not
want to learn .. you simply want to post your lies and convince others of
your incorrect position that SR is self-contradictory. You're a fraud.
