The near null result is evidence of aether entrainment.

'Ether and the Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein'
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Extras/Einstein_ether.html

"the state of the [ether] is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places"

The state of the aether determined by connections with the matter and
the state of the aether in neighboring places is the aether's state of
displacement and entrainment.

Since it is you who is creating a "theory" that is inconsistent with what
is seen in nature (in other words, Automatically Wrong!), it is completely
laughable that you try to complain that I don't "understand nature".

And not only don't you understand nature, you don't understand frames of
reference. M sees A and B, not A' or B'. M' sees A' and B', not A or B.

Once again: Which part of "Automatically Wrong" don't you understand?

The water is at rest with respect to the embankment. The train is full
of flat bed cars which do not disturb the water. If a pebble is
dropped when A/A' exists at the same point in space and a pebble is
dropped when B/B' exists at the same point in space, the waves will
ripple out with A and B remaining at the center of the waves for each
pebble. The pebbles will wind up on top of A and on top of B. The
waves from the pebble dropped at A/A' and the waves from the pebble
dropped at B/B' reach the Observer at M simultaneously. The Observer
at M' will encounter the wave associated with the ripple from the
pebble dropped at B/B' and then the Observer at M' will encounter the
wave associated with the ripple from the pebble dropped at A/A'. If
the Observer at M' knows the speed of the train relative to the
embankment and knows the speed at which the waves of the ripples
propagate in water and notes the time difference between the wave from
B/B' reaching M' and the time the wave from A/A' reaches M' and
measures to A' and B', the Observer at M' will conclude the pebbles
were dropped simultaneously.

If you replace the pebbles with flashes of light, the Observer at M'
will conclude the flashes of light were simultaneous.

I see that you have decided to ignore this statement and proceed
directly to passive-aggressive echolalia.

They are ALSO evidence for special relativity.

Now what you need is an experimental set-up where AD and special
relativity make DIFFERENT predictions, so we can see which one is
correct.
