I'm sorry, Ken, but you just don't know what closing speed means.
Closing speed is definitely confirmed in experiment to be anisotropic.
Light speed is definitely confirmed in experiment to be isotropic.
What is confirmed in experiment is real, despite your spluttering
"But...but... that can't BE!!"

I'm sorry, Ken, but you first have to learn what closing speed IS
before you can decide whether or not it's real.

No....if B is truly running slower than A then A must truly running
faster than B. So from B's point of view A's clock is running fast.

No...the rate of a clock is not a geometric projection as asserted by
SR, B must predict that A's clock is running fast.

We already agree that A's clock is truly running faster than B's
clcok.

Sigh...what SR says is wrong. The rate of a clock is not a geometric
projection.....it is not resersible as you claimed. What this mean is
that every SR observer cannot claim that his clock is the fastest
clock in the universe. What every SR observer can claim is that an
observed clock can run slow by a factor of 1/gamma or run fast by a
factor of gamma.

ROTFLOL....wormy and you don't understand that SR is incomplete.

I did not reverse t and t'. I thought that t is a clock time interval
on A's clock and t' is A's prediction on the B clock for a clock time
interval t on A's clock.

This is the SR concept of length contraction....a geometric projection
effect. However this cannot applies to the rate of an observed clock.
Why? Because the rate of a clock will effect it rate of accumulation
of clock seconds. If B is running slower than A then it will
accumulate less clock seconds than A and conversely A will accumulate
more clock seconds than B for a specific time interval.

Ken, Ken, Ken. You insist that the world lives by rules that make
sense to you, rather than trying to make sense of the rules that the
world lives by.

You do not have the choice to say, "The world MUST BE THIS WAY for it
to be acceptable to me."

You are no scientist. I scientist does not do what you do.

There is no difference in closing speed for light fronts generated at
the ends of the train to M'.

Hey idiot....it is not my rule....when you compare two clocks the
following possibilities exist:
A accumulate clock second at a faster rate than B then B must
accumulate clock seconds at a slower rate than A.
