    • For similar criticism of Zahar's study, see R. M. Nugayev, "The History of Quantum Mechanics as a Decisive Argument Favoring Einstein over Lorentz," Philosophy of Science 52 (1985), 44-63. As the title of his paper suggests, Nugayev argues that to understand the rationality of the acceptance of special relativity in the physics community by the early 1910s one should take into account concurrent developments in quantum theory.
