Perhaps this is an opportunity to connect here to an O'Barr post, in
the context of my position that the speed of light is an expression of
- effects through - its source- -causes.

It seems to me that the 'supportive' arguments he makes to the
proposition that "the speed of light is independent of its source"
actually support the opposite - that the speed (of light) is dependent
on its source.
