What about the things you can check?

I will put it in context for
you. Suppose that scientists were right and I had actually written
3D300,000 km per second instead of 300,000 km per second.

How about the actual context that started this thread? I pointed out
that your equation:

| t'=(x-vt)/sqrt(1-v2/c2)
<3acd8774-9984-4172-aa66-08cfc1e9bfb1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

has the units are wrong. No need to trust my quoting; check.

A
reasonable scientist would say, Well, I can see how a person might
believe they had not made an error of that kind even though this one
actually did, and would not make an issue of it. However, where is
the reasonable scientist?
The fact that scientists choose to make this an issue indicates to
me that something is wrong.

So why did you? Why not just say, "oops typo" and let it go?

But the fact of the matter is that the question is so trivial that
it has to be seen for what it is, an attempt by scientists to change
the subject from a discussion of relativity to a discussion of
personal issues.

A typo is trivial of course, whether in one's posts or another's quote.
Worth correcting, but no big deal.

A conspiracy theory about scientists deliberately altering one's post
is another matter. Detachment from reality.
