How was it determined what kind of "aberration" would exist if
gravitation propagated at the speed of light? In particular, are you
claiming anything which is known to be inconsistent with (a) the
orbits are consistent with general relativity, and (b) gravity
propagates at speed c in GR? If not, then please word the claim
differently in the future.
