"Take, for example, the reciprocal electrodynamic action of a magnet
and a conductor. The observable phenomenon here depends only on the
relative motion of the conductor and the magnet, whereas THE CUSTOMARY
VIEW draws a sharp distinction between the two cases in which either
the one or the other of these bodies is in motion."

"Relativity and Its Roots" by Banesh Hoffmann:
(I do not have the text in English so I am giving it in French)
Banesh Hoffmann, "La relativite, histoire d'une grande idee", Pour la
Science, Paris, 1999, p. 111:
"Dans la premiere partie de son article Einstein analysait l'induction
d'un courant dans une boucle par un aimant. Il soulignait que
l'intensite du courant depend du mouvement relatif de la boucle et de
l'aimant et non pas de leur mouvement absolu a travers l'ether. Or,
confirmait Einstein, SELON LES EQUATIONS DE MAXWELL, les phenomenes
physiques seront differents selon que la boucle est immobile dans
l'ether et l'aimant mobile, ou l'inverse."
Einstein's criminals have replaced "the customary view" (that is,
Maxwell's ether model) with "Maxwell's equations". Presumably one can
look at the respective Maxwell's equation (the third one which is in
fact Faraday's induction law) and see that, according to this equation,
it is just the relative motion of the conductor and the magnet that
matters. However the lie (the equation draws a sharp distinction
between the two cases) has been repeated so many times that, as they
look at the equation, people see the opposite of what it really shows.
Ignatius of Loyola:
"That we may in all things attain the truth, that we may not err in
anything, we ought ever to hold it a fixed principle, that what I see
white I believe to be black if the Romish Church define it so to be."
