No, it is not.
You're forgetting something. LET gives the same prediction, as SR.
LET is classical, SR relativistic. They have the same formulas.
Where is the difference? Right here. LET assumes clock error.
LET assumes, that if clocks unsynchronize, it's an error and corrections
are required. SR assumes time dilation. SR assumes unsynchronized
clocks are proper clocks. SR assumes no corrections are required.

Real difference between relativity and classical physics is - in
answering this question. Whether clocks should be synchronized,
or not. Formulas are the same, predictions are the same. It's just
that  - Your preferred answer to the question "how to set clocks"
is inconsistent with common sense,  i.e. stupid.

Tough sell?
A "standard" not used even by its creator - THAT's a tough sell.
