The above argument depends only on the validity of the Lorentz
transformations. If they are true - preferred frame or not - you
have
problems eg LET has exactly the same problems.

That's meaningless. A Lorentz transformation is a transformation,
not
a statement. It has no truth value.

I beg to differ. It can be tested hence has truth value.

A transformation cannot be tested. It can be applied to something.

You must be one of those religious whackos who attempt to
validate silly philosophy as science by obfuscating the obvious.

I have simply tried to correct sloppy language.

Of course the lorentz transform can be tested. By applying it.
If we get a real result which differs from the result predicted by
the transformation, we have tested the transformation and found that
it doesn't agree with reality.

By applying a transformation you obtain another description, not a real
result. What you can, possibly, falsify is the claim that all laws of nature
are Lorentz covariant.

You are injecting meaningless babble to obfuscate the obvious.
If the laws are nature are (not) Lorentz covariant, then the
Lorentz transforms are correct (incorrect).
