Gentle readers, again we have Paul denying that things that have been tested and proven to be real are real. His inability to follow a logical argument is once more shown to triumph over reality. In this case it can easily be shown that the above equation can be mathematically reduced to the classic E=mC^2. For the SR case it gives exactly the same value.

In one way Paul is correct, the formula is designed to support a theory. The fact that the theory has been shown to be absolutely correct doesn't seem to interfere with Paul's assumption that he is always right, even when he's wrong. So take Paul's ranting in your stride and ignore him.
