Because that theory is, in essence,

Nope. Even Einstein himself disagreed with that kind of thinking!
What Tom said is correct. General Relativity can be interpreted as
a geometrical theory of gravity. He didn't say that that was the
*only* interpretation, or that it was Einstein's interpretation.
Anyway, I wish people would stop invoking Einstein, or Feynman,
or Newton or Maxwell as support for whatever it is that they
are claiming. If Einstein made a good argument in favor of
some claim, then you can quote the argument. But claiming
that Einstein was on your side is dirty pool, in my opinion.
He's not around to confirm that he agrees with you.
