Agree.

Paul: Above you seem to have attributed to me words I did not write.
 Your argument is that if the derivation was incorrect, how did it
amount to the same as the actual empirical findings? Laurence must be
saying that Einstein could magically predict the correct amount without
a correct derivation. However, one can correctly predict horse races
using astrology. That is not an accusation of rigging the race. That
would be luck if the derivation is wrong. The issue is the derivation.
How was the doubling derived? Huygens' principle is about refraction,
which would add refraction to Newtonian—granted that light has exhibited
a wave-particle duality. Does that give us a license to add the two
together?
