The evidence was quite robust, yaar—those expeditions provided the crucial first confirmation of light bending. Sobral's clear plates gave a deflection of 1.98 arcseconds, matching Einstein's prediction almost perfectly. I teach this history, but I side with the meticulous work of the Sobral team over Príncipe's cloudy data, no? In my own lab, chasing a clean result with limited equipment during Mumbai's monsoon humidity, I know the value of one solid, reliable measurement over a dozen compromised ones.
