One crackpot puts the (x'-x.c')=(x-vt - x.c+vt) relationship
like this:

      (x-vt+vt - x.c).

See, he says, that is transforming x (with x-vt - x.c) and then
reversing the transform (x-vt+vt - x.c).

That's just another crackpot form of the idiocy that 
x.c' <> x.c-vt. You'll have noticed the implication
is that there is no transform vt term relating to x.c.
