One revolution of the wheel has to equal one passage of the tire's
circumference along the road (since the tire does not slip around the
rim and assuming no slip on the road).


It does not though, obviously (or iTPMS systems wouldn't work).

How could it be otherwise?


Science.

Talk of "effective radius" is not relevant.


To you unfortunately it seems. To people who understand these things
it's key.
