Then you should be aware of the meaning of consistency.
Tell us, bachelor, which is correct?
"But the ray moves relatively to the initial point of k,
when measured in the stationary system, with the velocity c-v..."
or
"It follows, further, that the velocity of light c cannot be altered by
composition with a velocity less than that of light.
For this case we obtain V = (c+w)/(1+w/c) = c."
Hint... looking at your palms will not help. Hanging your head in shame
may be more appropriate.
