As my pappy used to say:
"A stuck pig squeals."

It appears that Sam Wormley's is upset because
I criticized the "egocentric sociopaths" in sci.physics
who habitually attack messengers.

I challenge Sam to post where I have taken a position that
"is contradicted by the empirical results of observation and experiment."

I suspect that Sam's problem is that he identifies
with the egocentric sociopaths that I criticized,
or else he is all bent out of shape
because I have challenged him to
post any current proof that General Relativity
was essential to the design, engineering, construction,
programming and maintenance of the GPS system.

And of course, Sam might be disturbed because I
equate his belief in photons to belief in angels,
as neither has ever been tracked through time and space
by multiple observers.

As can be seen
"the empirical results of observation and experiment"
clearly show that the only thing that can be measured
between a cause and an effect,
is an interaction time.

Contrary to what Sam believes,
no angels or photons have ever been tracked between
a cause and an effect.
