AHAHAHA!
Doppler shift physically slows clocks!
Only Dearest Darling Dork *** the local village idiot
could make such a claim!

Even Brian would know how to pull Androfart straight,
but he just hasn't got the guts ;-)

Item I
Why bring up the Doppler shift? (It was not in the given
experiment.)

Item II
Headmaster should know that no SR believer would ever admit
to a real, genuine, for-sure physical distortion.

Item III
Dirk was of course using the weasel-out system, but it fails
due to the fact that triplets (with no acceleration) actually
physically age differently merely because they are in different
inertial frames.

Item IV
Dirk's weasel-out system also fails due to the fact that no one
can show on paper the MMx null result for two or more frames
without also showing a physical contraction of the ruler, and a
physical slowing of the clock for at least one of the frames.

Item V
Since clocks are analogous to people when it comes to time
dilation, the triplets case proves that clocks physically slow.

Item VI
But special relativity theory does not want to admit to any of
these physical distortions because the only possible cause for
them is absolute motion.

Item VII
Returning once more to Dirk's weasel-out plan, how does he
prove that the measurements are correctly made? This cannot
be done by mere definition.
