No, you don't get it.  The absurdity is in how to interpret the data.
The how is grossly biased by the politically correct or the religious
sound expectations.  <shrug>

This is not true.  Most of the time, you need to go back to examine
your experimental setups.  Just ask Professor Roberts or any
engineers.  Well, there are very few exceptions.  The null results of
the MMX are certainly puzzling, but if analyzed correctly, it should
rule out any relative simultaneity.  They should easily rule out the
validity of the principle of relativity.  <shrug>

A not so off-topic explanation of this can be found in the post by
yours truly below.
