Without disputing your take on this matter I can only recognize that
which I read, not read into. Again more questions than answers.

Einstein presumed that something transmits light. Brilliant as he
was I don't know I'm ready to follow him on this particular trek.
On some things he was certain, but this was not one of those. It
would certainly be more convenient to blindly follow. But where
he poses a question I eagerly listen and patiently wait, quite
probably past the end of my life.
