Androcles is a strange case. He has convinced himself
that Einstein made a mistake in his derivation of the
Lorentz transformations, and he will not even *listen*
to a counterargument. His reasoning is that any
counterargument, if it goes beyond what Einstein said
doesn't count as *Einstein's* argument, it counts as
Jan's argument or Daryl's argument, or whoever. And
Androcles has no interest in the arguments of anyone
but Einstein.
Maybe there is a certain sense in which Androcles
is right. Einstein's argument is a failure in the
sense that it fails to persuade Androcles. And for
Androcles, that's the only standard for success that
counts.
