Since it is the angle from the earth that we are talking about I fail to see the disagreement. You are correct that for an observer on the sun the earth's angular displacement would be negligible. It all depends on the observers point of reference.
The disagreement is that in your example which I depicted in the diagram the observer will only notice a 0.000088 degree movement of the sun as he takes his train ride, but you
said that the sun appears 2.07 degrees behind where it is - but your very own illustration demonstrates that it will only be 0.00088 degrees! You still have not provided a single reference or coherent evidence for your original claim of 2.07 degrees lag due to the time of flight from sun to earth of light and distance between same two bodies.

LOL You really don't have a clue do you? You are referencing the the wrong angle. If your observer was on the sun you would be correct.
I guess reading the bible really has addled your brain hasn't it? Or maybe it was all the hours you spent flagellating yourself?
