messing around.

Nope, this is not the method I was suggesting to you.

All that’s needed is that the distant clock receive a pulse from the near
clock, and respond by sending a timestamped pulse back. This is enough
information to sort out whether the clocks are synchronized, without any
argument between captains.

Do you not understand how to sort this out with this simple method?

No, it doesn't work. The method was used by Commander Cromar, who ordered
Captain Seth to immediately set his clock to his, on pain of
insubordination and a court of war.
Death in the soul Captain Seth executed himself.
He set his clock on the other.
The answer was not long in coming:
"Are you crazy? This time things got worse. You're behind us six seconds."
But what's going on in your rocket? Are you looking for the "tribunal de
guerre" or what? "

That’s not at all the method I described. The distant clock doesn’t need to
reset at all. It just has to send a timestamped pulse back.

Do you understand how this will produce the answer?

You once again started a new thread without finishing a previous one. that's bad netiquette and very impolite.
So I ask you again,

In the delusional world of your delusional gedankens.
It's a bit more complicated in real GPS.
