This is necessary because it claims to have proven the doubling of the
Newtonian deflection, which involves curved space and parallel lines
meeting.

You really don't understand any of this.

You really don't understand logic, as proven by your failure to answer
the criticism directly by resorting to ad hominem. You lose.

 
 
Every artist knows parallel lines meet.
 
If you draw a drawing of a city...the parallel lines meet to a point.
 
It is the point of perspective.
 
But it is an illusion.

Of course not. This is called 'projective geometry'.
It is a well defined geometry, it is not Euclidean geometry,
and there is of course nothing wrong with it,
