That's your opinion. But if you don't really understand a
gravitational field then you might find its actual description to be at
odds with any half baked concepts that you might have chosen to
entertain. See, if you don't know what is right then you're just
being an arrogant jackass by making value judgements about how I choose
to instruct you concerning a thing I know about but concerning which it
is a certainty that you do not.
