Ralph, it means that it doesn't apply to his theory, his theory doesn't
depend on it and it isn't affected by it.  It is true that Einstein didn't
explicitly state "There is no aether!" at the time, he just stated that
his theory had nothing to do with any aether, Ralph.  Ralph, the only
mention of any aether in his SR paper was at the beginning where he stated
it was superfluous and would not be used.

Ralph, as much as you want to revive discredited aether theories and
blame them on Einstein (that's projection), it's simply not going to
work.  Einstein's SR doesn't need or use any aether, according to Einstein
himself.

Ralph, Einstein's postulates were based on observations, not on the LET
conclusions.  Ralph, one postulate is the laws of physics are the same in
all inertial frames, Ralph.  This was based on observation and scientists
were quite certain it was true but weren't sure why. The second postulate
was that the speed of light was the same for all observers.  This was also
an observation and was predicted by Maxwell's equations (for
electromagnetic phenomena).

Ralph, perhaps you should whine that Einstein's SR was based on Maxwell's 
equations and Maxwell's prediction of a constant c for all observers.

No, Ralph, the LAWS are the same.  Things like F=ma (a law of physics) are
the same for all inertial frames, no matter what the origin or motion of
the frame is.
