Abstract
Despite Max Born's opinion that special relativity theory (SRT) was well anchored in experiment, the issue of measurement units was often overlooked, leading to contradictory interpretations of SRT. The quotations listed in this paper shed light on the problems, and provide just grounds for rejecting SRT as irrelevant for physics.
