You have spoken many times about centrifugal force winning out on the far side and causing a bulge there. The word "battle" is appropriate. Whether you ever used the word "winning" either I can't remember - I'm not a quoting machine, but go by the meaning (or the closest thing to a meaning that can be extracted from your mangled wordings).
"Centrifugal force winning out" ? ... I have often said that indeed, or something with same meaning. But I´m afraid you wrongly consider the "enemy" is not the real one, the one I logically referred to most probably due to your deeply rooted misconceptions.
I need to know if you apply the moon's gravitational pull from the barycentre (within the Earth) instead of from the moon?Only the fact that you so deeply feel I´m wrong could make you ask me that !
It´s not a question of where I apply the moon´s pull from: the moon ONLY can exert its pull from each of its particles ... And, by the way, ONLY on each of earth´s particles, inversely proportionally to the square of individual distances (without nature "making" any vector subtraction, the so called "differential gravity").
