Yup.

Yup, but this cannot be used to refute Lisle’s position because in his model the observational difference is not due to an actual lightspeed delay from Jupiter to Earth changing as the distance between them changes, but rather because time itself runs differently depending on the differing distance from Earth to Jupiter. It’s a position dependent system rather than a velocity dependent system. We’d observe the exact same phenomena using either convention.
Quote: Now, if Lisle was a real scientist, he would have known about this. But professional liars for Jesus have never let minor details like facts get in the way of their bullshit and deceptions.
Not only did Lisle already know about your objection, he’s addressed it numerous times before. It’s hilarious that you actually thought you knew more about the subject than someone with a PhD in Astrophysics; such hubris.
Now, you're just making shit up to defend your increasingly flimsy position.
BTW, the thundering round of indifference from the astronomical and astrophysical communities would suggest that I am not alone in my dismissal of Lisles bullshit.
If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
