There's no getting around the fact that relativity cannot be steel-manned.

In his book, Euclid or Einstein, Callahan says, "This is precisely the difficulty in reading Einstein. He is so hazy in his thought, so obscure in his language, so involved and illogical in presenting it, that interpretation becomes largely a matter of guesswork."

Callahan's clear and lucid reasoning shows the confusion and mysticism in Einstein's thought and it is a relief to get the air cleared of the fumes of relativity.

For example, p.236 "But there is no use expecting Einstein to reason."
