Well, no, Miguel, its reading is not totally meaningless.  I use that
alarm clock every morning to wake me up at five minutes from the time
it registers.  At night I reset the clock so that it reads the same as
the digital clock on my computer.  This seems easier to me than taking
the clock back to the store where I got it, getting my money returned,
and buying another clock.  I can accomplish what I wanted to do with
the clock, which is make certain that I get up in time to go to work.

There you go....you admit, by your own words, that every night you
"reset the clock so that it reads the same as the digital clock on my
computer".
Question is then, the resetting (resynchronizing) of your slow running
clock somehow changes t'?. And the answer is NO way!!!!
You are trusting your computer clock as a better time reference (which
would be t') at least once a day.

You scientists seem to have an odd definition of the word
synchronized.  If a clock is synchronized with another clock, then it
is running the same rate as the other clock and will read the same as
the other clock when the experiment is done.  If movement causes one
clock to run slower, then it does not remain synchronized with the
other clock.  That is the situation we have with two cesium clocks,
one in motion relative to the other.  The moving clock will slow down,
and the clocks will not be synchronized.  Consequently, both clocks
will not be showing t'=t.  Only the clock at rest will be showing
t'=t.  

Well sure....this is precisely what Special Relativity affirms. Your
problem is that you are trying to make Galilean Relativity to do the
same and that is not possible at all, first, because GRT does not
presents time dilation (t'=t always!!!). So from what part of your
body are you getting this "...If movement causes one clock to run
slower..." stuff, because in GRT synchronized clocks will remain
synchronized (Cesium clock drifting is on the order of one second in
10e13 years). For this type of clock accuracy, any difference in the
reading will, for sure, not being caused by the clock, but instead
from relativistic effects.

It does not matter if the moving clock shows something exciting,
such as the speed of light being 186,000 miles per second in the
moving frame of reference as measured by that clock.  The Galilean
transformation equations are still based on t'=t. You have to
transform coordinates according to that and then figure out what the
cesium clock in S' would show.  It is no different from what I do with
my alarm clock.

What you do with your alarm clock resembles nothing about relativity
physics. It is not physics at all. you are deluding yourself.
