*Alan, if you can't get an intuition about why special relativity
works from a diagram then you're sure as hell not going to get it
from mathematical symbols. *
*More BS. I never wrote that one cannot get intuitions from diagrams.
But what Brent did was use a diagram to claim something which is
false. AG *
Since you know it's false you should be able to say exactly where and why.
