But less than three weeks ago I watched you and George go
over this, and you decided that BaTh predicts an advance,
not a delay. When the light pulses are on the far side of
the dwarf they are accelerated toward Earth by the dwarf's
gravity, so they take less time to reach Earth than they
would otherwise. If you now believe that BaTh predicts a
delay, you need to work out the prediction and show it.

I'll let you do it. I'm not particularly interested becasue
I don't believe it's a shapiro delay anyway.

I'm quite happy to continue matching light curves.

Er...Henri...

You have NEVER even matched ANY real luminosity curve!!!

You have at best ONLY matched SINGLE CYCLES of the light
curve of a pulsator. Over multiple cycles, the luminosity
curves of pulsators show period noise and amplitude noise.

Consider the luminosity curve of S Cas:

Demonstrate that you can fit the ENTIRE curve from 1921
to 2000 with a single set of parameters.

The plain fact of the matter is, that YOU CAN'T.

Likewise, you have only matched the light curve of
Algol-type binaries AT A SINGLE WAVELENGTH. BaTh predicts
the same light curve for Algol in IR, visible, and X-rays.
In reality, the light curves are dramatically different.

Indeed, there is practically no variability in Algol's
luminosity at X-ray wavelengths.

Algol's X-ray spectrum shows Doppler shifts which are 180
degrees out of phase with the Doppler shifts measured in
visible light (the visible light spectrum being dominated
by that of the primary), but which are completely in phase
with the absorption lines of the secondary which have been
resolved.

BaTh has failed even at the single task in which you
claim it has succeeded.
