Hmmm. I think you GREATLY overstate the case. And you omit all of the
actual cases in which this could reasonably be said (non-local
measurements in a curved manifold).


It is erroneously found to be constant because of
three kinds of systematic measurement distortions
entailed by length contraction, clock retardation,
and arbitrary clock synchronization.

Hmmm. When I measure the length of my desk with this ruler, I don't see
any of the "distortions" you mention. Ditto for the most accurate
measurements made by scientists.

Normally the word "distortion" is applied to clear and obvious errors in
measurement, not the abstract and theoretical ones you have in mind; and
I think you don't really have a cogent physical theory on which you
based them, either.


The Lorentz transformations, connect coordinates
altered by these distortions.

Clearly not. They connect UNdistorted measurement systems. That is,
coordinate systems that each is UNdistorted in its own rest frame.
