I was using physilogically more liberally than you.
If Einstein's writing were still the only writing available on the subject the numbers wouldn't have changed. It had to do with how the idea was presented, no the idea itself.
Actually at the time it was presented very few people understood general relativity. The Indian-American physicist Subramanyan Chandrasekhar, when, early on, it was commented to him that only three people in the world understood relativity said, "I can't think of who the third could be." Now has the brain evolved and that evolution been passed on to so many who now understand relativity in the past 90 years?
