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.

No, that's not correct.


A self-proclaimed expert in these ng's (Dirt van dar Guppy] has a
different opinion, as he wrote:

"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 is your case is obviously a euphemism
for psychopathological."

I'll let him expand or clarify his own remarks, Mike. Mine is not an
opinion. It is an experimental fact, so well established that it is
considered a benchmark for basic operation, like looking to see if the
"on" light turns on when you flip the power switch.

I don't see why I would expand or clarify.
First, what I wrote is no opinion either.
Second, my remark is not even related to yours, so he has no
business opposing them and labelling them "different".
Third, his mind is blocked for expansions and clarifications anyway.
Slapping his face with a ping pong paddle seems to be the only
way one can communicate with him :-)
