For Example:
1. SRian PD and Randy said that length contraction is real and

measurable
and SRian Roberts said that length contraction is a geometric effect

much
like you see me to be shorter from a distance and I see you to be

shorter
from a distance.


Yes. Now if you can understand why those are equivalent

Those are not equivalent statements.


Yes they are.

Your statement says that the observed
rod is really contracted physically.


This misinterpretation has been repeatedly pointed out to you. You
still don't get it. You never will.
