Where I think we really are in this discussion is at the level of Pedagogy.
Most of us will admit that the 'Bowman' level description of gravity is the
_most_ correct we have and that if we do analyses from within accelerating
frames then one must deal directly with forces that don't conform to

Aristilean students directly into late 20th Century physics, or do we take
the intermediate step of trying to first bring them into the Newtonian
world
