The Problem of Special Pleading within Special Relativity.

Two bodies approach each other.
Body 1 moves east at 0.75 c, and body 2 moves west at 0.75 c.
Logic dictates that an observer in body 1 will see body 2 move past body 1 at 1.5c.
Yet SR says no observer will ever see any motion greater than c in a non-accelerated reference frame.
Evidently, the SR limit of velocity to a maximum of c is invalidated by the simple thought experiment.
To avoid this problem, the true velocities of body 1 and body 2 must be removed from the discussion, and reduced to the velocities as dictated by SR theory.
But to remove the true velocities is to special plead velocities of each body, down to what is dictated by a theory, made apart from logic and experience.
In effect, SR must remove the earth and all common experience of motion around the earth to transform its adherents into an imaginary world of mathematics, whereby bodies, time and velocities do what the postulates and maths dictate they must do.
Hence SR theory is a case of special pleading, made apart from common sense experience.
