One can never know how exactly silly Einsteinans draw their
conclusions but at least one can guess. So this Eric Baird may have
decided to get rid of special relativity after reading the following
two texts:

http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/Goodies/rel_of_sim/index.html
John Norton: "But an emission theory is precluded in special
relativity by the part of the light postulate that asserts that the
velocity of light is independent of the velocity of the emitter."

http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/i6272.html
John Stachel: "Not only is the theory [of relativity] COMPATIBLE WITH
AN EMISSION THEORY OF RADIATION, since it implies that the velocity of
light is always the same relative to its source; the theory also
requires that radiation transfer mass between an emitter and an
absorber, reinforcing Einstein's light quantum hypothesis that
radiation manifests a particulate structure under certain
circumstances."

Eric Baird's possible conclusion: "Master John Norton clearly says the
emission theory is incompatible with special relativity whereas Master
John Stachel says it is compatible with "the theory". The only
solution to the problem is to abandon special relativity and continue
to worship, as fiercely as possible, general relativity."
