  That's a rather odd reference for you to provide, since it directly
contradicts the assertions you made for which you provided that reference
as support:

   ``The current consensus is that the Sun is not nearly oblate enough to
   upset the agreement between Mercury's observed precession and the
   predictions of GR. This is all the more impressive considering that, in
   contrast to the Brans-Dicke and other alternative theories, GR has
   almost no `freedom' to adjust its predictions. It is highly constrained
   by its own logic, so it's remarkable that it continues to survive
   experimental challenges.''
