Abstract
We argue that existing doubly special relativities may not be operationally distinguishable from the special relativity. In the process we point out that some of the phenomenologically motivated modifications of dispersion relations, and arrived conclusions, must be reconsidered. Finally, we reflect on the possible conceptual issues that arise in quest for a theory of spacetime with two invariant scales.
