Well, I don't know GR and I hadn't compared the precessions of other planets until last night, and they all worked out. I just sat down and tried to think of the most logical thing that could be happening. It took me all of an hour to figure it out this way and I got it right the first time. Einstein, however, spent three years trying to work the precession into his formulas for relativity. They didn't work out for him as they should have, but only after much manipulation did he finally hit upon a formula that worked out for the precession. So you tell me which sounds more like a coincidence.
