It doesn´t matter what they say. Both claims are pure specualtions prodused to fit a theory which isn´t fully understood or certainly not proven by natural means or logics.
Except GR isn't pure speculation because all the math works out and it isn't "not proven by logics" because again all the math works out exactly right when triangulating several GPs and taking into account both SR and GR.
It's very accurate logical and proven.
Interesting how you pretend like that's not true by just sweeping it under a rug.
It's interesting to see where the cognitive bias creeps in.
Mostly everything is debunked here:
Dealing with Creationism in Astronomy: Relativity Denial: The GPS 4-Satellite Solution
The minimum number of satellites needed for a position determination is three (assuming your receiver has a reasonably accurate clock), so you can determine the receiver's three position components, x,y,z in cartesian ECEF coordinates (
Wikipedia).
If you have a fourth GPS satellite, then the mathematics demonstrates that the position computation can be done without the signal time from the receiver.
Misconception: If four GPS satellites are available, so that you don't need to know the time at the receiver, then relativistic corrections are not necessary. This is evidence that relativitistic corrections are not really needed in the GPS system.
Why it is wrong: The relativistic corrections, as well as several other important corrections to the range computation, depend on the positions of the satellite(s) and the receiver. These correction terms are in the fundamental range computation equation. While you can use a fourth equation to eliminate the receiver time with an expression using the transmission time on the fourth satellite, the relativistic correction terms do not disappear, nor do they conveniently cancel.
Relativistic corrections remain important for accurate GPS position determination.
The Mathematical Details
The GPS Solution for Three Satellites
Using the time of the signal departing the satellite, t_s, and the time when the signal is received, t_r, we define what is called the pseudo-range, R, between the receiver, r, and the satellite, s

Of course you do. Everything which is ouside your own squared box is crank, right? Well, it takes one to know one
"I know you are what am I " is your response? Heh.
What I'm saying is every time I take an EU theory and put it to a test it fails. But when I report that more rug sweeping happens. You can actually take any EU concept and understand why it isn't true but you have to actually want to understand things.
I'm saying I went out of the box and tried to prove or debunk concepts in EU. To you that's a problem because I didn't find what results you want so you put it in a negative light. So far it's all crank.
But I understand more now why people are drawn to it.

To me it´s hilarious that modern cosmological scientists have the need to explain ordinary light refraction phenomena as a very special gravity effect. Get real in the real natural world, please.
provide sources of light refraction accounting for all types of lensing including multiple image microlensing. GR accounts for it perfectly.
Without being an expert, I´ll just say you´re confusing "time" with different stages of a particle.
Except it isn't "me" confusing the dillation it's EXPERTS!? Did you look at the article?
So a non-expert is telling the experts what's actually happening.
Speaking of hilarious.
All your references to the "Mercury problem" STILL doesn´t explain the causes of the planetary motions at all.
Energy transfer in GR and gravity equations and such is well known.
Not well known by laymen but yes they do understand why mass moves in curved space-time.
