In an article in this journal [Verheest, Am. J. Phys. 90, 425–429 (2022)], Frank Verheest presented a proof for the linearity of the Lorentz transformation. We fill in some gaps in his derivation and analyze the role of the light postulate that some physicists, including Verheest, have criticized as a necessary hypothesis for formulating the theory of relativity.
