I disagree with this statement We may not agree on the label, but we can bypass the label entirely in talking about the real subject matter: the underlying physics; and agree or disagree on that.

A single point mass exhibits 90 degree precession due to the only possible travel path around the new circle after a normal acceleration. Together so far?

If there are enough of those point masses to weld together into a solid disk, and a force on one particle gets passed to all of them, then does anything different happen? Or is the resulting path the same as that of the single point, and for the same reason?
