You didn't read what I said.

Tha's why it produces the answer you would like,
but it is the wrong answer, you divided by the
wrong length.

Algebra is stubborn Henry, it only gives you one
answer to a question when you get it right and it
doesn't allow any negotiation. The phase is most
easily calculated by the time difference is "no
shift" which you already agree. If you use the
correct length then the path-length difference
method gives the same answer. You just screwed up
as usual.
