He is still trying to recover from his silly statement at the
beginning of this thread:
| "More precisely, SR can handle accelerated objects if
| and only if the reference frame is inertial."
without having to admit that he was wrong on this.
Since he even maintains that
| "ds^2 = d(ict)^2 + dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2 is positive-definite",
why would he change his mind on the strong EP?

There's nothing we can do about that.
Apparently there's even nothing *he* can do about it either ;-)
