Correction:

Where I claim that Jupiter is 30AU away, I was incorrect. It's only about 5.2AU away from the sun. But Pluto is roughly 38 AU from the Sun and my point still stands that if the sun's gravity direction is 2.1 degrees ahead of its optical position due to the distance of sun-earth and the light flight time thereof (Which is LeGrande's claim), then Pluto will appear over 60 degrees displaced from its actual position.

Second correction:

When I stated "20 arcseconds is 0.000277777 degrees. You're talking about 2.1 degrees, which is seven thousand five hundred times bigger!" I was wrong on two counts. First, 20 arcseconds is 0.00555555556 degrees, not whatever I said before. Secondly, 2.1 degree IS 7560 arcseconds, whereas I had incorrectly stated 7500 as the ratio between 2.1Deg and 20ArcSec. The ratio between 2.1Deg and 20ArcSec is really 378 - so the displacement of 2.1 degrees is three hundred and seventy eight times larger then the observed and calculated displacement for the sun! That's absurd!

Please accept my most sincere apologies for the inaccurate statements. It is my goal and practice to be honest and accurate and I freely admit when I find I've been wrong.

But my general point, that 2.1 degrees is absurdly beyond anything that's been measured or calculated still stands.

Thanks,
