Have you read post 55 and the related section of Einsteins 1905 Paper? Do you disagree with something in Einsteins analysis?

No, I don't disagree with anything Einstein said or anything you quoted him as saying. Note that he talked about two different frames, the "stationary frame" and the "moving frame".

But you misquoted me, here is what I said:

"The reason you think it's true is because you are switching between frames for the two observers but in anyone frame, it cannot be true that the light arrives at the remote locations simultaneously for two observers with a speed difference between them."

Can't you see that this is in agreement with what Einstein said?
