There is no need to invent mysteriously created fictional forces for the car on earth

The point being, the General Relativity allows for such interpretation, not whether there is any need to do so.

I agree that complex scenarios emerge when acceleration is not constant. Likewise when loose objects are acted upon by a changing gravity field. Do we need to discuss them, to further condemn Luther?

There might be weak vs. strong equivalence principles in play, but to do so I need to refresh my knowledge of physics, which is nearly as old as Carl Sagan.

I didn't bring up the subject of reference frames. That was you. If you are saying that you no longer what to discuss the subject--which also includes objects that are accelerated by other forces than gravity--fine. As for Luther, I am not intetested in condemning him. This isn't an Inquisition. It is a discussion and disputation of ideas.
