Wozniak's position is that if you are altering a clock on a satellite to 
get its rate to match the rate of the ground clock, then this is 
equivalent to asserting that the only useful clock is one that is so 
altered. He does not admit the possibility that clocks would be useful 
if not so altered. Though examples abound of clocks that are not 
synchronized ON PURPOSE and which exhibit this same relativistic lag, he 
will then assert that the usefulness of those applications is not as 
large as the usefulness of the applications where they are altered. In 
other words, he uses USEFULNESS as the metric for scientific truth, and 
he is willing to subjectively attribute greater usefulness to the 
applications that he likes. If anyone disagrees with his subjective 
assessment of which applications are useful and which are not, then he 
will dismiss the disagreement as being misinformed.

You're basically arguing with a petulant child who, with crossed arms 
and a scowl, is making "Pfbpthblpttt" mouth noises at any stance that 
differs from his own.
