    ...  Both cases assume that there is a meaning to where
    the distant object "really is" and what its time "really is"; in general
    there is no single answer to these questions.

  Sure there is.  The answer would be different if you were travelling at
a different speed or in a different direction, but for any given observer
(in relativity, people are all called 'observers', just as on a computer
system, people are all called 'users') there is a very real time and location
for other objects.
