pervect said:It is not true that it's possible to extend the results to an arbitrarily large laboratory, which is the error in Zanket's argument.
I don't do that. #4 in the original post applies to an arbitrarily small laboratory. Keep in mind that special relativity has been experimentally tested in rather large "laboratories", like those extending from the ground to the upper atmosphere (muon experiment). In any given sized laboratory, the tidal force throughout can in principle be arbitrarily small so as to only negligibly skew the results of an experiment.
