Socrates and Plato are very proud of you Dirt. You are a good
philosophy student. Probably, those are the only courses you passed.

And in context and with a less silly pointer:

The answer is NO. All measurements can take place from the frame at
rest in the frame of the laboratory and relative speed only calculated
using the velocity addition formula.

Has anyone ever precisely measured directly the relative velocity
between two moving objects at every-day-life velocities, and
found a difference between the result of the classic velocity
addition formula and the relativistic velocity composition formula?
To use your words: "The answer is NO".
No one has done an experiment where a velocity of 10 m/s was
combined with a velocity of 10 m/s, which gave exactly
20.00000000000000 m/s like predicted by the classic theory, as
opposed to the 19.99999999999998 m/s that is predicted by
relativity theory.
There is no experimental basis for preferring the classic over the
relativistic formula. The only basis one could have for doing so, is
purely philosophical, which in your case is obviously a euphemism
for psychopathological.

This is a killer argument and you know it. The fact that you never
give a decent reply to it, demonstrates your malicious agenda, or
at best, your autistic imbecility.

Always glad to oblige :-)
