"Observers who take the railway train as their reference-body must therefore
come to the conclusion that the lightning flash B took place earlier than
the lightning flash A" -- Albert '****head' Einstein.

The ray from A meets the ray from B at M and M', the mid-point of the train.
Hence the relativity of simultaneity says B meets A before A meets B, in
violation of the principle of simultaneity, A meets B when B meets A.

Drunken deranged Timo Nieminen, Doctor of Phrenology and spirits specialist,
says "No".

Instead, the flash from A will meet the flash from B at M, the mid-
point of the embankment; at that time M' will be to the right of M.
The light from A will then not yet have reached M' while the light
from B will already have passed M'.

No. It merely says that the light from B arrives at M' before the
light from A, from which observers who take the railway train as their
reference-body conclude that B took place earlier than A.
