3) N: "{A} in internally inconsistent because {words}."

4) N: "{A} is inconsistent with the SR, the theory."

5) N: "in SR, muon half-lives are a function of the (perceived) speed of the muons."

Is your proposal, re a rule change, that N needs to be held accountable for answering questions about the following classes of (N) statement: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, none of the above}?

(to be continued)
All of them, and any other you might come up with. In other words, I think everyone should be obligated to answer relevant questions about their arguments. Sometimes answer might just be "I don't know", or "read basic physics textbook", but answer should be given in timely manner.
