Default IF EINSTEINIANS WERE HONEST

Dishonest Einsteinians:

http://wvgazette.com/Opinion/JamesA.Haught/200807050200
"Special Relativity - After the 1887 Michelson-Morley experiment
showed that the speed of light is absolutely constant, Einstein
deduced that everything else must vary as speed increases: time slows,
mass increases, dimensions shorten in the direction of movement."

If Einsteinians were honest they would have written:

"Special Relativity - After the 1887 Michelson-Morley experiment
showed that the speed of light varies with the speed of the light
source, Einstein should not have deduced the idiocy according to which
everything else must vary as speed increases: time slows, mass
increases, dimensions shorten in the direction of movement."

John Norton refers to dishonest Einsteinians as "later writers":

http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/arch.../02/Norton.pdf
John Norton: "Einstein regarded the Michelson-Morley experiment as
evidence for the principle of relativity, whereas later writers almost
universally use it as support for the light postulate of special
relativity......THE MICHELSON-MORLEY EXPERIMENT IS FULLY COMPATIBLE
WITH AN EMISSION THEORY OF LIGHT THAT CONTRADICTS THE LIGHT
POSTULATE."
