The principle of gneral covraiancy states that the laws of nature do not prefer any frame, however this doens't mean that there aren't some frames which will naturally be prefered by us.

In the phrase "naturally be prefered", the "naturally" is disambiguating the "prefered".

Ad Verecundiams don't cut it, either re published texts or self-referential. Everything is open to question, whether you think so or not. There are no "bibles" in science.

This is not an issue of dogma--it's one of usage. I provided a google search that also established usage earlier, but Gravitation should hold some weight.
