- or probably as he intends, that they infer the source.

'The source' of the speed of light:

The brilliant and beautiful philosophy system "Effectuationism" tells
us, as apparently does Quantum Mechanics, that, other than
inferentially, it is (the) effect which exists - not the source-
-cause(s).

So, were the ether to exist there would have to 'be' causal forces
doing the usual on and off thing to make it exist.
