Einstein didn't need to spell it out because he found a tensor to describe
how things move through spacetime, and tensors by their very mathematical
nature are frame indifferent, if a tensor works in one reference frame it
will work in any reference frame. And in scientific papers it's not
customary to give a history of the evolution of your thought process or
anecdotes about how you happen to come up with your idea, you just state
your idea and then make suggestions about how it could be tested.
