The problem I have tried to adress, was the huge number of various 
errors in Einstein's text.

The number is so large, that a total rewrite would be easier than an 
attempt to correct the errors in Einstein's text.

But it is in fact possible to do that, because there exist a HUGE number 
of publications about relativity and electrodynamics.

I personally like these 19th century texts from Hamilton, Riemann, 
Maxwell, Tait, Thomson, Helmholtz, Hertz, Weber and so forth, because 
they are much clearer and far more developed that Einstein's text.

About relativity we can use e.g. Poincaré, Lorentz or Minkowski.

I don't know, what you want.

Theoretical physics is not for wimps and not meant to serve personal pride.

So, a scientist can only provide a tiny bit to a huge puzzle and have to 
be happy about contributing that tiny bit. If that contribution will be 
removed in subsequent corrections, this has to accepted, because a 
scientist is just a small cog in a large gearbox and any of these have 
to function correctly. If one piece does not work as wanted, it had to 
be replaced.

It's certainly a pitty for those, who contributed something removed. But 
that's the name of the game and in most cases the contributers are long 
gone.
