There is never a requirement to use 4D tensors. However, as you've
noted, the calculations become uglier if 3+1 notation is used
exclusively. And as usual, you are misapplying the tensor transformation
laws in special relativity. That's why you don't think they are correct.
Stay tuned to this thread, and hopefully your confusion will be cleared
up.
