Let me try another approach. Do you agree that the temperature rise,
outside the resistor, is due _only_ to the transverse component of the
velocity of the particles (disregarding the mass, etc.) in the resistor?
If your answer is yes, you must also agree that there is energy, due to
the longitudinal component of the velocity, that is _not_ being
accounted for in the calorimeter experiment. If your answer is no, then
please explain how a hypothetical particle with _only_ a longitudinal
velocity would cause a heat rise in the environment outside the
resistor. If it doesn't cause a heat rise, then its energy is not being
accounted for in the calorimeter experiment.
