Yes, I should have said "roughly equal." But don't your equations show a huge
difference between the near and far side tides caused by the barycenter being closer
to the near side? Shouldn't that be a clue that something is amiss in your theory?

Equal? That'll be hard when it's non-linear. Think about it. Take as
long as you like.
