Thank you for the response, very much appreciated.

I was referring to the observation that Einstein made that one
couldn't tell the difference from within an elevator in either
situation.  I was pointing out that with sensitive enough instruments,
you can tell the difference.  The gedanken-experiment might
not hold up:

Perhaps the concept of "locality" might have something
to do with "how sensitive are your instruments"...  What do you think?

Thanks,
