That is showing it to be right .. if it was not consistent, it would be
wrong

He also
proposed measurements by which his proposal could be checked --
chiefly to *falsify* it. In the years since, a number of experiments
have been performed, none of which have successfully falsified
relativity, despite being designed specficially to be able to do so.

Instead they show the SR is right in that it correctly predicts the
observations.

Rubbish.
Every one of those so-called supporting experiments has an alternative
explanation.

This is precisely why I don't care for your characterization of
science (or Jeckyl's).

I have the same idea as your's PD.

If you have two theories that explain the same
hand-selected set of data or experiments, then you have no basis for
choosing one over the other. You likewise have not shown *either* to
be correct in so doing.

The decision point between two competing theories is made *outside*
that range of data or experiments where they have common predictions.
Specifically, the decision point is the class of phenomena where one
theory predicts that A will happen and the other theory says that B
will happen, or that both theories says that A will happen but at a
measurably different rate or amount. Then experiment tells you in a
very straightforward way which theory is clearly WRONG; it does not
tell you that the other one is right, only that it is better than the
wrong one.

That's exactly what I was saying

Hank is hand-choosing his experiments where he believes BaTh makes the
same predictions as conventional science. He is not looking at the
places where BaTh makes a noticeably *different* prediction than
conventional science. But the latter is where the action is, because
that's where BaTh goes to hell in a handbasket.
