What errors in [Einstein's] logic?

The most fundamental errors are these:

1. The promotion of the non-existent "inertia mass".
(The has wasted much time and brain power.)

???

2. The assertion that mass and energy are the same thing.
Mass and energy are completely different physical properties.
(The has wasted much time and brain power.)

Energy is the fourth component of the impulse vector, and this is
identical with mass. A quite simple derivation. But one must
not discuss that in view of the overwhelming empirical evidence.

3. The insistences on continuity.
(When it is obvious that reality arises from quantum events.)

Ah. You are not alone with this restricted view. ;-/
It is indeed obvious that reality arises from quantum events. But
quantum events arise from continuum, so what ! Not even Einstein's
followers see that simple. Read

I have empirical evidence for that !!!

4. The denial of quantum mechanics (God rolling dice).
(The has wasted much time and brain power, much of it Bohr's.)

I'm afraid that Bohr developed a false approach. The "quantum events"
have nothing to do with a "rolling dice". My numerical simulations
demonstrate quite clearly that such "quantum events" are connected
with chaos.

(Also note how much money and effort has gone into quantum gravity
with the emphasis on trying to make the quantum agree with Einstein's
continuous GR.)

"Quantum gravity" is of course crap. Gravitation is quantized no way.

5. Making mass more fundamental than time and space,
and for that matter events.
In other words Einstein asserted that mass distorts time and space,

I'm inclined to agree. That may be the reason why Einstein not more
succeeded in the try to make a general theory of fields. That
general theory comes from alone, as you can see on my site. It's
pure geometry !

whereas mass arises from time and space,

Yes. It is the first integration constant of the source-free
Einstein equations.

and time and space arise
from quantum events.

No. That is illogical. One defines an event from time - do you see
the contradiction ?

6. The elevation of "equivalence" to a important role,
[snip ununderstandable]

The "equivalence principle" means nothing else than the two parts
of the curvature vector, which decides the force to a mass.
That is an extraordinary "important role" to understand GR,
and physics at all.
