Tell me about the "54 pages Einstein-Besso manuscript" that Besso HELD
until his death in 1953. When this manuscript emerged, and was subject
to public auction in 1992, it also emerged fierce criticisms from
scholars during such dark period (1954-1990), which showed (with hundred
of references) how WRONG was the approach of the team on the Mercury
problem. It included an error of 3 magnitudes and negative sign in the
final calculation. Now, it's in public domain. Which is your opinion of
such manuscript and why do you believe it was hidden for 40 years by
Besso?

The Einstein-Besso manuscript (1913) is one of the most controversial
and revealing documents in the history of general relativity (GR). Its
contents, hidden by Michele Besso until his death in 1953 and later
auctioned in 1992, expose critical errors in Einstein’s early approach
to the Mercury perihelion problem—errors that were orders of magnitude
wrong and even had the wrong sign in calculations.

Star, tell him that's how science works. The way to get there is messy and full of mistakes, but some eventually get there! The sugar coating comes later for sex reasons :)
