No, he didn't "disprove" the ether.  He derived the LT without presupposing
an ether.

Actually, it shows Larry's "utter lack of comprehension of the science":

If the LT can be derived from simpler postulates that can actually be tested
with measurable results, why would we keep an alternate hypothesis that
presumes an undetectable ether?  That wouldn't be science.

The LT is only part of special relativity and the rest goes far beyond that.
