I think it might be meaningful outside that context, but I agree with your broader notion that if the fundamental underpinning of the STR does, then there's good reason to question the whole apparatus. One problem that would aise for successor theories is how to include STR as a limit case for all the phenomena it does cover well.

I'm not sure it's "if and only if." Dennis might bring up other reasons he believes STR is wrong and needs to be replaced. I don't necessarily agree with him, but he didn't come to these views because of some recent data.

Dennis would also have an alternative paradigm here. Again, not that I agree with him on this, but I'm not wed to any particular theory. I'm also sure, too, most here would change their minds if the evidence is corroborated or a better alternative were presented.
