Your argument the whole time has been that the sun appears to go across the sky every day?

Pretty much that is it : ) Apparent vs the actual position of what we see, using the Earth as our point of reference. It couldn't be much simpler.

Are you saying that if you pointed your finger at the optical position of the Sun, you would be pointing 2.1° behind its gravitational position?

The only actual position versus apparent position discrepancy (sans atmospheric effects) will be less than 21 arcseconds.

Are you claiming otherwise?
