You cannot devise an experiment to validate the velocity addition
formula [ of SR] since that would require measuring the OWSL. The
velocity
addition formula is a deduction from the postulate of c invariance in
inertial FoR.

That's simply not true. Relativistic kinematics is confirmed all the
time in particle experiments, where those high speeds and also
observations from two different reference frames are common.

There is no experimental basis for preferring the classic over the
relativistic formula. The only basis one could have for doing so, is
purely philosophical.

Philosophical? Yes, indeed because SR is the philosophy of a block
universe and GR the philosophy of black holes.

I enjoy to see SRians contradict each other in such a ridiculus manner.
