Sure he does. Tom is free to create a different theory.

Okay, well I don't agree with everything Tom says (I don't see how the
LeSage theory could even be a starter, but I haven't read his book).
But the mere fact that he recasts the geometrical interpretation to a
flat 3D intepretation is not enough to disqualify his views. Whether or
not this constitutes a 'misrepresentation' of pure GR leaves me cold, I
don't think the evolution of space-time physics stopped in 1916. And I
trust that Tom's quotes of famous icons are honest and correct.
