Don't take it too hard, Pat, it took me four years to work out a successful argument that tachyons,
even if they existed, could exceed c yet could not violate causality.
four years is long time to decay to dementia.
Tachyons are a spurious solution to some math equations. Relative velocity is the real cosine projection of celerity. The speed of light is the limit of the cosine projections of celerity as celerity approaches infinity. There is NO real, measured
velocity greater than c, because there is no celerity faster than infinite to project it. Tachyons cannot exist.
