简而言之吧，你这里提出的客观性方面的担心，名誉损失方面的担心，有些牵强。上面的那段文字也不是在说爱因斯坦有抄袭，说是有借鉴恐怕更恰当，这点爱因斯坦从来不否认的，科学研究本开就是站在前人的肩上。

你引述的那段文字，有没有轻看爱因斯坦在相对论上的工作的潜在词，要看上下文。

其实，相对论发表后，洛仑兹跟爱因斯坦有20多年的交往，来往书信达90封之多。很难想象，如果看不起对方的研究，看那不起对方的人品，双方还会有这么频繁的交流。也很难想象，如果他们之间有学术上的龌龊，洛仑兹本人，或者其家属会请爱因斯坦在洛仑兹丧礼上致悼词。

爱因斯坦本人对洛仑兹是相当敬重的，这可以从爱因斯坦去世前的一段采访看出来：

Shortly before his death, Albert Einstein was asked, Who were the greatest ,men, the most powerful thinkers whom he had known, Einstein answered without hesitation, “Lorentz.”   Einstien’s near idolatry for Lorentz had lasted all his life; and a few weeks before Einstien’s death, Einstein described what the magnetism was, “Everything that emanated from his supremely great mind was as clear and beautiful as a good work of art.  There was his humor, his smile, his mastery of physics and mathematics.” 

Einstein went on, “Lorentz was perfectly aware that the human intellect cannot penetrate very deeply into the essential core of things.  It was not until my later years that I was able fully to appreciate this half-sceptical, half-humble disposition.”

顺便说一句：从分析洛仑兹，爱因斯坦书信着手，到也不失为一条了解爱因斯相对论坦究竟有多少原创的途径。
