When trying to calculate the GR and SR daily adjustment to the USNO's GPS satellites onboard clock frequencies, but only using the gravitational and centrifugal accelerations applying, I noticed that if you start with the general relativity factor = gR/c² and substitute g for half the centrifugal acceleration v²/R you arrive at the SR Lorentz transformation factor - gR/c² = v²/2R x R/c² = v²/2c² The Lorentz transformations original derivation is based on linear vector motions and the need for time dilation to reconcile the constancy c across different reference frames. As this v²/2c² factor provides a valid and correct adjustment to GPS time keeping, one of these competing derivations is likely to be a representation of reality, but the other one must be a coincidental hoax. This paper argues that the Lorentz derivation is likely to be the hoax.
