However, both SR and LET are merely interpretations to the Lorentz transform. <shrug> > The > mathematics is a structure for rigorously expositing the conclusions > to be drawn from the *physical* basis of a theory.

So, if you are trying to divorce SR from the Lorentz transform, you are not discussing philosophy. In that case, you are on your own. Thus, the rest of philosophical discussion is snipped. You can talk yourself to believe in anything you want. This also includes the snobby impression that because you are given the title of a physicist you understand physics better than anyone else.
