**An Interesting Case of Mental Blockage and Cognitive Dissonance:**
 *Einstein-Poincaré Synchronization Procedure and Dr. Lengrand*
 What’s fascinating about certain cranks is that just when you think you’ve seen all the absurdities they can come up with, they manage to produce something even worse. Their cognitive dissonance and ability to pull out bizarre notions from who knows where, on top of a perfectly well-defined technical procedure, is astonishing. We’ve seen this before with GPS, where Hachel invents all sorts of fantasies, like atomic clocks in the receivers or synchronization with a clock infinitely far away in a fourth spatial dimension...
 This is a report of exchanges on the synchronization procedure described by Einstein in his 1905 paper, discussions that took place 17 years ago and more recently on sci.physics.relativity and fr.sci.physique.

 *Reminders on the Procedure:*
 Two identical clocks, A and B, are stationary relative to each other at a certain distance. Their identical functioning (within measurement accuracy)

Taking 2 identical pendulum clocks blows
this pathetic bullshit out.
And hatever you say - Poincare had enough wit
to understand how idiotic rejecting Euclid
would be, and he has written it clearly
enough for anyone able to read (even if not
clearly enough for you, poor stinker).
