Bob,
you say that Daniell never specifies exactly what the local
causes are that affect the force of gravity.

You feel comfortable with the simplicity of Daniell's concept,
and choose not to be concerned with the local causes mentioned
in the Daniell quote.

Others agree with Daniell that there are local causes, and debate
at length to clarify their ideas as to what these local causes are.

I hope that I can now at least describe your position on this
weight issue with clarity.

Brian
