The ultimate point that I'm after is whether Donald is correct in
saying that one can dispense altogether with acceleration in
discussing the tides, and explain everything in terms of the gradient
in the gravitational force only. It seems to me that both are
required, or else equivalently one must use an accelerated reference
frame.
