Heck, even physicist don't know most of the times what Einstein was thinking. And I'll bet that even Einstein often didn't know what he was thinking as the record show he often changed his mind. But carry on.
Einstein and reality
Or better;
Einstein's new point of view, according to which the physically real consists exclusively in that which can be constructed on the basis of spacetime coincidences, spacetime points, for example, being regarded as intersections of world lines, is now known as the “point-coincidence argument.” Spacetime coincidences play this privileged ontic role because they are invariant and, thus, univocally determined. Spacetime coordinates lack such invariance, a circumstance that Einstein thereafter repeatedly formulated as the claim that space and time “thereby lose the last vestige of physical reality”
The second link has dozens of sources, including Einstein. Changing of one's mind is always necessary when confronted with new information or challenges to old.
