Even his example of two successive L's in the same spatial
direction is wrong, and for the same reason. Yes it yields
a Lorentz transformation (as does *any* composition of boosts)
but it's not the transformation for v1 + v2.[/quote:02411abd1d]
You are completely missing the point. The point is not whether
the product of boosts Lx Ly = Ly Lx, the point is that there is no
boost equal to that product Lx Ly.
