And here is the underlying problem. You refuse to learn SR, so you keep
arguing the wrong arguments, for some 15 years now.

Again, the bug dies exactly once. Where the two observers disagree is
the order of the two events. Just like the two observers and the two
stars going nova. Both observers agree the two stars go nova once each.
They disagree on the order.

Now, if you'd bother to actually sit down with a good book on SR, you
might actually learn something. Too bad you refuse to do so.

That's not a reference to an actual observation. An observation is a
description of how something (receiver) on the GPS sees the ground
clock. What you mention is an engineering change to the GPS transmitter
signal so that the ground receiver has compensation for GR effects.

In other words, I am asking how the GPS sees the ground clock. You
answered with an engineering change to compensate for how the ground
receiver sees the GPS clock.

That setting has *nothing to do* with how the GPS sees the ground clock.
It's there so that the ground receiver sees the GPS clock correctly!

Hey idiot...go talk to your runt brother PD...he said that mutual time
dilation does not apply to the GPS situation.

It is true that the GPS satellite is a GR situation that cannot be
resolved with SR alone. But we're discussing your inability to provide
any support for your assertion that the GPS satellite sees the ground
clock runnning 38 uS/day slow, particularly your inability to provide
the "actual observation" you claim exists. Did you find it yet?

OK, Ken, it's obvious you don't understand enough SR to grasp the bug/rivet
problem. Let's go back to the simple case of two stars going nova. It
does not involve SR except trivially (a finite speed of light).

1--A--------------------B--2

A is 1 lightyear from Star 1 and 10 lightyears from Star 2.
B is 1 lightyear from Star 2 and 10 lightyears from Star 1.
Nothing in this diagram is moving relative to anything else in
the diagram.

A sees Star 1 go nova and 9 years later sees Star 2 go nova.
B sees Star 2 go nova and 9 years later sees Star 1 go nova.

The two observers disagree on the order of the stars going nova.
They agree that each star goes nova exactly once.

How can Star 1 go nova both before and after Star 2 goes nova?
That's equivalent to the question you ask with your misunderstanding
of the bug/rivet problem (how can the bug die both before and after
the rivet head hits the wall?) Once you grasp that the order of events
can be strictly observer dependent by understanding the answer to the
first sentence of this paragraph, you'll be ready for the bug/rivet
problem.
