You just said the clock ran slow! Remember, ideal (non-broken) clocks ALWAYS keep perfect proper time. That is, any observer riding along with the clock (for example, his wristwatch) will ALWAYS see it working perfectly. Your "clock slower than the one by the side of the highway" is your mysterious Winn transform. You don't (won't) state exactly how it runs slow, but let's say for example it runs at 99% of the rate of a proper clock, meaning it will lose 1 minute for every 100 minutes. If you let me know what the Winn Transform really is, I will use that instead. So we have 3 transforms now. 1) Galilean transform from S to S'. t'=t 2) Winn transform from proper time in S' to broken clock n'. n'=0.99*t' 1) Galilean transform from S' to S. n=n' Combine them all and you just get: n=0.99*t Which proves...broken clocks are broken. That's it. No proof the Lorentz transform is wrong, or the Galilean transform is correct (since you also use the Winn Transform)..
