If tAB = tBA, then Paul's procedure works.  If tAB <> tBA,
then your point M method won't work either.

 If we synchronize on an abstract point M placed at an equal distance from A, B, C, D, E, we obtain for E a plane of the present time where A, B, C, D and E are simultaneously located.
Let's admit that M sends them an electromagnetic signal, and upon reception, they start beeping every quarter of an hour.
For M, the beeps will be simultaneous.
They are synchronized on M, and nothing else.
It is a fierce belief, among men to believe in the Holy Virgin, in the flying horse of Muhammad, and in universal isochrony, and it is very difficult to discourage them from thinking that A, B, C, D, E are synchronous with each other FOR THEM.
No, they are only for M.
The universal present does not exist!!!
I repeat again, even if it must be said with knees in the testicles, and big slaps in the snout.
"Your stupid present tense doesn't exist." I will never understand this blockage for a concept that I thought was understandable for an eleven-year-old child, and which seems to block everyone.
