If he can disprove the following argument, he has won the bet that stands between us:

In the equivalence principle of 1907, Einstein presupposed validity of the special theory of relativity with its global c.

Then he found that as an implication, c is reduced downstairs in proportion to the gravitational redshift. This is a contradiction-in-terms. (Einstein was so horrified that he dropped the topic of gravitation for 3 ½ years.)

It is not very hard to see where the error lied specifically. The consequences of the repair are staggering.
