   You cannot dictate who can measure what -- any observer (clock) can   
   measure whatever it is capable of measuring, and the physical   
   theory/model should be able to correctly predict [#] the values   
   measured. If there is "bias" involved in the measurement, the   
   theory/model should reflect it. In this case, of course, GR accurately   
   predicts values measured by A, B, and C for the tick rates of signals   
   from the others.   
      
   	[#] I use "predict" with the physics meaning: calculating   
   	a value based on the theory and physical situation. History   
   	and time ordering between calculation and measurement are   
   	not relevant.
