"does not require" does not equate to "rules out".

I did not "diss" quantum theory, but I do diss
any thought of long range particles being the carrier
of gravitation.

Right, and the same goes for spacetime.

If Einstein really expected to find unified field,
surely he did not expect it to be a physical field made
up of particles or medium.
His spacetime continuum will prevail, regardless
of what the mechanism of gravity is.
