Sam, go read Einstein's 1905 paper before you sound off. The last paragraph of the introduction states: "The theory to be developed is based - like all electrodynamics - on the kinematics of the rigid body ...". Einstein was correct. If you would extend your reading to the EM research around 1900 by Poincare, Lorenz, Larmor, Abraham etc, you would find that Euler's concept of the 'rigid body' appeared everywhere. It is this concept (that grounds classical mechanics) that is inconsistemt with the finite time differences found in the EM interaction. It is the attempt to preserve this 'fiction' that results in the Lorentz (Larmor) transformation.
