I use x'=wt' to find out how long it took a photon from the origin of
S' to reach x'=x-vt. Why does that horrify you so much?

Cretin,

How long does it take a photon to do the roundtrip in each arm of the
Michelson-Morley interferometer?

Why don't you ask a scientist? I am just taking what they claimed as
a result of the experiment and applying it to the problem Einstein
said he was working. You can figure your problem out from the
following information. If a photon is reflected 180 degrees, its
velocity changes from c to -c relative to the frame of reference.
