SRists seem to ignore the meaning of inertial frames when they consider
that the road is moving relative to a car, or that the Earth is moving
relative
to a spaceship, etc. I don't.

What you don't, is "understanding what you are dealing with".
That, Marcel, is the only important thing that you don't :-)

I think you are right about him. two steps forward, and three steps back....

Indeed, it's been like that since a good part of a decade.
While some of us advanced quite a few miles by honing
our explanations to sheer objective irresistibility, our friend
gladly and open-mindedly took giant leaps and joyfully ran
the other way.

A retrograde Echternach procession ;-)
