due to the fact that gravity is not understood, how can time dilation be decided upon for the cause of increased radioactive decay in less gravity?
And the gps thing is a gimmick. Bill clinton is responsible for that being on board, he ordered the doubting top brass to include it. The actual measureable loss due to dilation is negligibly small, if it exists. The inaccuracies in the syetem are far larger.

I'm afraid you are misinformed. The system was built with a switch to turn the correction on or off
I am bit puzzled by this exchange.The first of the GPS satellites were launched in 1978.Bill Clinton became president in 1993. There is no way he could order anyone to include a new hardware feature on a satellite that had been launched 15 years earlier.Perhaps what you are talking about is "Selective Availability" (SA),
