The TV equipment and everything else on the puck is all quite real.

Unless, of course, you are now complaining how everything in this thought
experiment (the pucks, the scientist doing the experiment, the air table 
etc.) is all imaginary.

>asserts

The TV equipment will measure stuff.  Non-human TV equipment won't be 
asserting anything.

No, Stupid Ken.  Each observer will measure the other's clock as running
slow.  I know this confuses you, Stupid Ken, but remember that each
observer is measuring a different thing so this is not a conflict.
