摘要
A recent argument by McCausland, claiming that the kinematics of the special theory of relativity is internally inconsistent, is shown here to be fallacious. Apparently a small lapse in Einstein's exposition was one cause of the error by McCausland and of Dingle's earlier errors. Very strong evidence will be presented for the self-consistency of the kinematics.
