I was actually a HYPOTHETICAL professor (in my role as writer of these

I found 428 errors in Einstein's text and therefore wrote so many

In science any critique should be dealt with, from wherever this critique may come.

 "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" is a historical document.
After its publication science has moved on so much that no comment
to it is relevant to today's education or science.

But that wasn't my topic.
I had a different problem:
Max Planck was certainly a very good physicist and certainly able to see the errors in Einstein's text.
But why did he publish it, if it contains so many errors?
