In short, according to Lorentz's theory, the aether can't be detected
through velocity measurements. There is an "aether frame" but there is
no way to tell how fast you're moving relative to it.
Again: I'm not proposing taking any velocity measurements.
If you measure distance and transit time, you're measuring velocity.
That's *how* you measure velocity, in fact. If you know another way,
please explain it, because I'm not aware of one -- velocity can be
measured only by recording two events and taking the difference in space
and time coordinates of the two events.
I know that. I was just trying to emphasize, perhaps not a very good or
clear way, that there are no relative velocities of the two clocks involved.
