Fine. But that is not what the discussion is focussed on. The quesion is whether the date of the sun at vernal equinox retreats slowly to earlier dates (tropically). All the western scientists who observed and developed models for precession were using a tropical system. To them, just discovering precession, a sideral system could not be their reference point. They all saw that the date of the sun at VE retreated slowly TROPICALLY. ------------------------ Yahoo!
