They must have worked out something and I ask how did they work out their view... sorry to be verbose to get to such a small point... and I already expect that they used Newtoian from what you have said so far... but I doubt that GR would have predicted slowing either.

Good point. It is complicated, but the differences between them is very small - and in especially testing theoretical explanations for the real cause of the anomaly. I.e. It could have been influenced by another gravitational force by an unknown gravitation body. I..e. An asteroid, etc. My thanks for asking what seems as genuine question, Alex.
