Looking to authority is - or shoulde be - unpersuasive to real physicists.
If you doubt the truth of my comment, then pls exhibit the
L-transformation that converts a pure elecctric field into a field that is
;urely magnetic.

Feynmann certainly leaves the impression that one can.
But I'll be the first to admit (proclaim) that EVERYTHING that
Feynmann writes is perfectly clear on first reading
but much less so upon further contemplation!!
