Assertion is not a valid argument. The strikes are stipulated to be
simultaneous to be with.

Cite the reference. Title, publisher, page number, quotation, please.

That's what Einstein said in his book. That's what the text book "The
Fundamental of Physics" by Resnick and Holliday said.

I don't think so. Cite the reference:
Title, publisher, edition, page number, quotation.

I want to hammer down this bonehead misconception of yours, so I need
to know EXACTLY what you are reading.

You surely still have the books. I have them too. Point to the pages
where this is said, and type the lines where you think this is being
said.

The strikes are
stipulated to be simultaneous to begin with. One oberver sees the
strikes to be simultaneous because he is not moving wrt the light
fronts and the other observer sees the strikes to be not simultaneous
because he is moving wrt the light fronts.
