"In this connection it is of importance to note that
when we exclude certain possibilities that would give
rise to still greater intricacy, the form of comparison
used by Einstein to present the theory is the only
possible one; the principle of the freedom of choice in
co-ordinates was the only one by which he needed to
allow himself to be guided. Although thus there was no
special effort made to reach a connection with the
theory of Newton, it was evident, fortunately, at the
end of the experiment that the connection existed."
