Physics in general is the study of quantities, some of which are frame-
dependent and some of which are not.
Velocity, electric field, momentum, kinetic energy are examples of
quantities that are.
Acceleration, invariant mass, spacetime interval are examples of
quantities that are not.



So then insisting that length be frame-independent
in some underlying reality is to either
a) say that the underlying reality is
unmeasurable,

That would be my preference.

And this is scientifically valueless.


or
b) define length in a self-contradictory way,
making it a one-word oxymoron.

No thank you. I reject Einstein's self-contradictory, oxymoronic
emphasis.
