I have never claimed that Einstein made an algebraic mistake but that
his equations are mathematically inconsistent as he worked from the
equations
    x-ct=0
    x+ct=0
which is inconsistent unless everything is identically zero. If I had
to review a paper containing these equations, I would reject it out of
hand (whether it was written by Einstein or anybody else).
