I think you're reading from a script and have no idea what my
derivation assumes.

Believe what you like. Most critics who have actually read my paper
are certain that I begin with the Galilean transformation and then
invoke a wild clock resynchronization procedure. In general, most
suspect that I confuse the physics somehow (beyond their ability to
understand) and with mathematical trickery and the power of suggestion
that I only make it appear that I derive the Lorentz transformation
from the Galilean transformation.

You're claiming to be able to see explicitly where I use the second
postulate. I can only view your claim as an endorsement to the
legitimacy of my magic act. You're the second person who has said
that I'm using genuine Einsteinian postulates. Thank you!
