While you may not have "shown" it, you certainly did say exactly what it is.
That our dual Nobelist does not know what "time of flight" is, what "photons"
are, what "pi-zeros" are, or what "momentum" is does not alter your having
told him precisely what your evidence for the validity of special relativity
is (inter alia; as you point out, there are other examples).
