But you didn't address the non-failure of the orbital insertion burn.
If we have gravity all wrong, with it "skewed" and a "significant-enough
difference to mess up their 14 day orbit", why did the tricky orbital
insertion maneuver work at all?

And if it actually does work fantastically, will you be man enough
to admit your LeSage skewed gravity is all wrong?
