That's wrong. The understanding of General Relativity has *advanced*
since 1948.

Please state the specific advancements which proved that Einstein was
wrong.

Einstein was not familiar with Riemannian geometry. He was not familiar
with the coordinate-free formulation of physics.

That's quite far from the truth.

I don't believe that Einstein was aware of the coordinate-free
way to define vectors and tensors.

The very fact that they are tensors means that they are coordinate
indepenant, i.e. their definition does not depend on a particular
cooridinate system.



Anyway, Einstein's quote doesn't explain *why* he disagrees
with the claim that GR is no more geometrical than Newtonian
physics.

Certainly he does. He's quite explicit as to his reasons.

*What* statement by Weinberg is wrong?

Read it again.

That's why I wish you would stop the name-dropping.

Please look in a dictionary under the term "name-dropping" and see what it
really means.

If you
want to quote an *argument* made by Einstein or Weinberg, go
ahead. That would be interesting. But to skip the argument and
only mention the conclusion is worthless. It's just game-playing.

Okay. That's enough of this. Nothing you're saying is worth the text that
its printed it. I have no further desire to continue read all your sematics.
