In the light ray setup, despite the shift vector in the direction of A, the Shapiro time delay from B to A is still a delay compared to propagation time in the corresponding flat region.
“Another interesting point to note is that, while there does exist a shift vector in the direction of A in the light ray setup, the Shapiro time delay [17], the delay of light travel time due to gravitational time dilation, from B to A is still a delay compared to the propagation time in the corresponding flat region.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
