    "You must also precisely measure the distance, and you can't measure that without using Einstein's equations."

    Sounds like you are asserting that to me.

    Well, that's true. You don't deny that fact, do you?

    In any event, this has become futile. You either don't understand, don't want to understand, or are simply trolling. In any case, I'm out of here.

    Cya.
