While SRT was willing to give up the Lorentzian assumptions of space and time being immutably what they had always been, the proponents of an LET interpretation point out that SRT itself carries an assumption that would seem far closer to home and more readily open to question, namely that the measuring standards themselves are immutable.

If the relativity principle was to be observed, and the new transforms applied, how could they still be compatible with Newton's long-established mechanics, which was enthroned as being consistent with the classical Galilean transforms, not with the new Lorentzian ones?
