Is it true that frame-dragging (as applied to galactic rotation curves) goes as second order in $v/c$ rather than $(GM/Rc²)(v/R)$?
I have seen various people (see e.g. comments here) dismissing this article
using the argument that GR frame-dragging is second order in $v/c$ and therefore insignificant because $v << c$ for ...

Has frame dragging been accounted for in galactic rotation curves?
This article explicitly takes frame dragging into account in calculating expected galactic rotation curves in the absence of dark matter, and appears to obtain very close matches to observed curves. ...

Spacetime drag and galaxies' radial velocity mismatch
We know - or theorize - that a spinning black hole drags spacetime in its surroundings, producing measurable effects on the accretion disk (the minimum stable orbit radius).
What I cannot grasp is why ...
