Stop right there. Nobody has jumped to anything, here. The conclusions come from working through the mathematics. See again the links that AdmSmith provided. Mitra isn't assumed to be wrong, he is demonstrated to be wrong.
and not considering hypotheses which would contradict that which already seems demonstrated by the SP
Physicists do that every day. If scientists only considered current theories and only accepted those data that were in agreement with them, there'd be nothing for a scientist to do, nothing at all. It is the job of the experimentalist to find ways in which current theories fail in the lab. It is the job of the theorist to compose new theories which match the existing data, and predict previously unknown phenomena. If you don't understand that, then just what is it that you think scientists do?
Scientists are not under an obligation to consider hypotheses that contain simple mathematical errors or easily refuted misconceptions. That's what we're talking about here.
