 That was all not under dispute.
 Sure, these equation would allow tro calculate the delay.
 (despite t_B and t_A' would be unknown at the remote side 'B')
 But anyhow..
 The problem was, that Einstein never used this value of the delay to compensate the timing value at the local side.
 If you - for instance - peep through a large telescope and look at a large clock on the Moon and see the clock show e.g. 12:00:00:00 GMT, then you would see a time too early, because your own clock would show 12:00:01:00 GMT.
 Now both clocks are actually in synch, even if the received view of the remote clock shows a different time then the local clock on Earth.
 But Einstein failed to mention the required correction of the remote signal by adding the delay to the received time value.
 This can only be interpreted, as if he didn't wanted to do that and leave the timing signal as received (what was wrong!!!).

What is absolutely essential is to re-explain things, with precise, simple terms.
How can we describe the spatio-temporal universe that surrounds us?
What is this "apparent delay"?
Why do two extremely well-synchronized watches show two different times?
Why, once joined, will they start to show the same time again?
How could Römer have been stupid enough not to understand right away what extraterrestrial civilizations might have understood, and what Richard Hachel understood in a few seconds forty years ago, already?
How can we explain that the hyperplane of the present time of an individual (Romeo on his bench, Juliet on this other one) is not that of another individual placed elsewhere?
How to explain that this horse in this meadow, this moon in this sky, this galaxy in this telescope, I perceive them live-directly, and that all this is an integral part of my hyperplane of present time, of my universe of personal simultaneity? But that this is not reciprocal (and that the notion of relativistic reciprocity is that for the other observer, who also sees me in HIS live-directly, does not see me "now" but there is dt=2AB/c?
We must put this on paper clearly.
As the wonderfull Alexandrians say:
"Ce qui se conçoit bien s'énonce clairement,
et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisément". "What is well conceived is clearly stated,
and the words to say it come easily".
It is a correctly written pdf, and very well readable (otherwise not everyone will understand) that is necessary.
