I think there is lying or cheating in the theory of relativity.
Specifically, cheating happened in the textbook Fundamentals of
Physics, 6th edition, published by John Wiley and Sons, jointly
authored by David Halliday, Robert Resnick, and Jearl Walker. On
pages 925 , 926 and 927, the book tried to prove that time is
relative. First it promised clocks would be used to obtain time
intervals; then it dropped clocks and switched to another tool, t =
d/ v, thereby the time intervals were obtained. I believe such a
switch constituted cheating. It promised one thing, and then did
quite a different thing.

Well, first of all, you are reading a very light treatment of
relativity in a survey textbook aimed at freshman. It is designed to
be a gentle introduction, with more emphasis on pedagogy than rigor.
But it is also a chapter that is usually sped through in a freshman
class, and so this chapter also gets less attention from the author
and the editors.

Translation.
That book is the brainwashing drug to get you ready for
the rest of the brainwashing.
If you can actually see how stupid that book is, the drug is not
working and that means your brain is stronger than the stupidity
in that book.

Translation:
To hell with books, to hell with what anyone else claims to have
observed.
Make it up as you go along, and if it makes sense to you internally,
then it's right.
It's the only way to prevent brainwashing.
Otherwise you might get brainwashed into believing that -2 x -2 equals
+4 or some fool thing like that.

Your policy has been to hell with reason, just follow the books. The
books can be wrong PD. While most of what is published may be
correct, it cannot be overgeneralized.

You read books with a critical mind. You listen to theories and
claims with a critical mind. You never disregard reason. That has
been your downfall.
