Default Einstein's Relativity and Post-Truth Science

The frequency increases for the moving observer because the speed of the light pulses relative to him increases, in violation of Einstein's relativity:

If the speed of the light pulses relative to the moving observer remains constant, as per Einstein, then why does the frequency increase? There is only one answer to this question, given by the formula

(frequency) = (speed of light pulses) / (distance between pulses)

Here is the answer: The frequency increases because the distance between the pulses (or the wavelength) decreases in front of the moving observer.

This answer is obviously idiotic, so the only reasonable conclusion is:

The frequency and the speed of the light pulses vary proportionally for the moving observer, in violation of Einstein's relativity. The wavelength (distance between the pulses) is constant.

The above conclusion is obviously correct and physicists often teach it, without mentioning, of course, that Einstein's relativity is violated:

"Thus, the moving observer sees a wave possessing the same wavelength [...] but a different frequency [...] to that seen by the stationary observer." http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teachin...ml/node41.html

"Let's say you, the observer, now move toward the source with velocity Vo. You encounter more waves per unit time than you did before. Relative to you, the waves travel at a higher speed: V' = V+Vo. The frequency of the waves you detect is higher, and is given by: f' = V'/λ = (V+Vo)/λ." http://physics.bu.edu/~redner/211-sp...9_doppler.html

"Vo is the velocity of an observer moving towards the source. This velocity is independent of the motion of the source. Hence, the velocity of waves relative to the observer is c + Vo. [...] The motion of an observer does not alter the wavelength. The increase in frequency is a result of the observer encountering more wavelengths in a given time." http://a-levelphysicstutor.com/wav-doppler.php

Why do physicists fail to discuss such a serious challenge to Einstein's relativity? Fear? In many cases yes, but there is a more general reason. Physics has been post-truth since 1905, and accordingly physicists couldn't care less whether anything, be it Einstein's relativity, is true or not.
