This is funny, Ken. First you make a comment about what Lorentz's
theory says (which was an incorrect comment), and then you say it's
irrelevant what Lorentz said. Don't you think that's funny? I think
it's hysterical.

This post is becoming too long. I will make the following comments:
1. Only the observer at rest in the ether frame can claim that all the
clocks in the universe moving wrt him are running slow and all the
rods moving wrt him are contracted.
2. When Lorentz came up with a theory that claims the above he is
assuming that the LET observer is at rest in the ether frame.
3. Therefore it is irrelevant what Lorentz said about his theory.

On rereading your post, I just want to commend you once again for your
description of what Lorentz Ether Theory says. It is highly unusual
that someone has sufficient insight that he can
1. State what was missing in the theory.

That's what is called advancement in science.....a better insight due
to a better understanding of nature.

2. Read the mind of the author to ascertain something the author
meant, even though what he said was different.

The author did not have a full understanding of his theory. Much like
SR have evolved since Einstein invented it.

3. Conclude that the author's description of the author's theory is
irrelevant.

Perhaps irrelevant is the wrong word. The right word is "WRONG".

I would love to have you respond to someone who classes cats and
whales as mammals. I can already imagine:
"1. The only way an animal can be a mammal is if it has four legs,
because cows, dogs, and giraffes have four legs.
2. When you said cats are mammals, you are assuming that mammals have
four legs.
3. How you characterized mammals is irrelevant.
4. BTW, whales aren't mammals because they don't have four legs."
