So you haven't understood what it is all about.
I rest my case,
You prematurely rest your case.
Since 1983, the speed of light in vacuum has been defined as exactly
equal to 299,792,458 meters per second.
Given this definition, is there any point to conducting experiments
to test whether there are anisotropies in the speed of light due to
Earth's motions in space? Such as these:

Right?
