Re: oops

Actually, the orbits precess so much that I suspect it might be inverse-linear gravity. (People trying to get inverse-square gravity right often do this by accident, because they forget or don't know that the unit vector in the direction of r, divided by r2, is the same as the vector r divided by r3.)
