Now this is a point that has been a bit foggy to me for a long time, and
advice is welcome.

Ampere's electrical force law uses the third law of Newton.
According to a number of people, the third law of Newton is violated with
Maxwell's and relativity theory. But despite reading about it, and despite
the apparent simplicity of the issue, I'm still not sure if they are right
or not; it seems you disagree. Perhaps the issue is more subtle than that?
