Paul doesn't understand that part of the scientific method is the
derivation. For the derivation to be correct, it must be not only
mathematically and logically consistent and falsifiable but also have a
rational physics basis. One cannot add the effects of refraction to
those of gravity to double the deflection by claiming a wave-particle
duality unless you're a loon.

According to GR the formula for gravitational deflection of
EM-radiation by the Sun is:
  θ = (2GM/(AU⋅c²))⋅((1+cosφ)/sinφ)
  where:
   θ  is the deflection of the star as observed from the Earth
   G  is the gravitational constant
   M  is the mass of the Sun
   AU an astronomical unit (distance Sun-Earth)
   c  is the speed of light in vacuum
   φ  is the angle star-Sun as observed from the Earth
Note that this prediction is experimentally verified,
even when the angel between the star and the sun is 90⁰.
It is of course ridiculous to claim that the derivation
of this formula includes the addition of a refraction,
but let's play along:
For φ = 90⁰ the predicted deflection is: θ = 0.004"
You claim that half of this deflection is refraction.
Can you please explain how the refraction of the light from
a star that is 90⁰ from the Sun can be: 0.002" ?
