The duck seems unduly fixated on the aberration of gravity issue fer
some obscure reason. Since it's agreed that *there is no aberration*,
wherein is the problem?

The problem as it were, is in the need to reconcile Einstein's oriiginal
assertion that gravity propagates at c with the observed fact that it's
instantaneous (indicated by absence of aberration). So some really wild
gymnastics and ad hockery is applied to try to bridge the abyss.. rather
than admitting the obvious- Einstein was simply wrong on this one. The
'speed of gravity' is functionally instantaneous just as Newton
originally observed, plain and simple.

The duck's obsession with Carlip's stuff is a tempest in a teapot over
nothing. Same goes for Fomalont-Kopeikin's stuff.
