Calculations of Mercury's orbit using Newton's theory will be incorrect even if no mathematical error is made, and the only way to know the calculation was incorrect is to check the calculations against physical reality. At that point we have to ask somebody (like Einstein) to use the laws of physics to find a calculation that is less incorrect. > > > you systematically argue like a dogmatic priest from an institutionalized > religion. > Wow, calling a guy known for disliking religion religious, never heard that one before, at least I never heard it before I was 12.
