Ok, SO he accepted that: Big difference!

Einstein rejected Lorentz's finding that the mass of a charged
particle increases with velocity?!?!?! That IS news to me!

Net nanny, net nanny, net nanny! That's basically
all I have time for this time, Jim.

Jim: I am going to PASTE from that post the following:

" It appears as if you think
I refuse to accept the successful experiments you cite above!"

This CLEARLY says the direct opposite of what you suggest it says!
The above translates as: "I accept the successful experiments
you cite, although it appears you think I do not."

Do you suffer from intellectual dyslexia? It's possible!
I'n NOT looking into it, Jim, if I WEREN'T you.

Are you a mathematician, Jim. If you are, here's a truism from
the S D Rodrian Bible (which you will NEVER understand
(much less accept, obviously)):

    "Mathematicians don't count."  Rodrian 14:3
