I'm not arguing at all---I'm trying to explain.

I gave you a derivation, and you ignored it.

I never tried to use the mosquito example to derive the Lorentz
transformations. It was just used to derive the mathematical
result

    If objects A and B are travelling at speed v in a straight line,
    and a signal travels from one to the other and back at speed c,
    then the round trip time will be 2cL/(c^2 - v^2).

This is a mathematical result which is independent of whether one
assumes Galilean relativity or Einstein's relativity.

>So what I want to know is why Einstein thinks (16 + 4)/2 = 16

Since Einstein doesn't think that, and that doesn't follow from
anything said by Einstein, your question is loony.
