that single sentence is true. we didn't need special relativity to show that there were cases where newton's laws were failing.
But we never throw away a useful theory just because it's imperfect. And 110 years after Special Relativity, we're still teaching Newton's Laws.
The analogy is junk, though, because Michaelson and Morley accomplished something, which the IDiots haven't done in the slightest.
