I don't have "more knowledge of GR" but:

Sorry, Dave, that reference is valueless.

If you quote Varney to support any claim you care to
make you put yourself in the scumbag corner.

I assume you feel that "Mu-Pi" is / was a nym that Varney posted
under...

Perhaps you didn't notice that Steve Carlip, Tom Roberts, Bilge, and
Tim Shuba weighed in on that thread?

I noticed that ity is only Carlip that can be trusted as an expert in
his field (GR). In any case
if I wanted an experts opinion I'd have asked Dr. John Stachel at BU
who is an expert in GR as well as a well respected historian on
Einstein. As a matter of fact when I sought a person to review my paper
it was Stachel who did the reviewing. At one time I went to Boston and
sat in his office and discussed this very point with him. Not only did
Stachel agree that Einstein never held that curvature = gravity but
that gravity = affine connection but that he too wrote a paper on the
subject in which he told me there was an Einstein quote which I should
put in my paper and that's the quote where Einstein said that the
presence of a gravitational field is dictated by the non-vanishing of
the affine connection and not the non-vanishing of the Riemann tensor.

Whatever corner you feel you have to place me in, in your mind, is OK
with me. I did *try* not to find a single source that was only
slamming PMB.

Did you contact Dr. John Stachel at BU?
