It's referenced in MTW, as I explained in the OP to this thread. The specific reference is MTW section 7.3.

For the record, I do not agree with this general form of argument. But that's beyond the scope of this thread.
This thread is, however, about one specific instance that is an apparent counterexample to your claim, at least if we assume that "famous" includes any argument that the authors of a famous textbook like MTW thought worth including. The argument, as noted above, is given in section 7.3 of MTW; but as given, it appears to prove too much, namely, that flat Minkowski spacetime is curved, since gravitational time dilation exists between Rindler observers in that spacetime.
