Einsteinians Test Einstein about E=mc2

Leaving aside for a while both the authorship and the validity of
E=mc2, it would be curious to see if the equation is really "a
prediction of Einstein's theory of special relativity". If it is, it
must be consistent with the concepts of reciprocal length contraction
and reciprocal time dilation (which are also predictions of special
relativity). But are those concepts non-contradictory? If they are
contradictory, special relativity is false and then how can a true
result be a prediction of a false theory?
An analogy. The frequency shift factor 1+phi/c^2 (a true result) is
consistent with Newton's principle of variability of speed of light
(the c+v principle) and inconsistent with Einstein's principle of
constancy of speed of light (the c principle). Einsteinians have
managed to camouflage the problem by declaring that the frequency shift
factor is a result of the general relativity, and in their zombie world
this means that the inconsistency between 1+phi/c^2 and the principle
of constancy of speed of light simply does not matter.
As usual, Pentcho Valev does not understand when or where to apply SR.
