Yes. This clearly demonstrates that Einstein's method is flawed. To quote
Tom Roberts (a staunch defender of the Faith or SR):
"If one uses light to synchronize clocks then it is quite clear that
measuring the one-way speed of light in an inertial frame to be c is is a
tautology (because the method of synchronization essentially puts it in by
hand)."
Note the first prepositional phrase. *ONLY* e-synching contains that
limitation. Only a fool would use that which you are trying to measure to
set your clocks.
Using any method of synchronization that does not require shooting light
back and forth avoids the tautological redefinition of time and space that
screws up the e-synch answers.

{sound of jaw dropping to floor}
There is no greater purpose in science than to look for differences between
predicitons of theory and reality.
