  Empirical fact, Potter. Check Doppler.... and Relativity.

I am surprised to see that Sam Wormley
and his buddy Dork Moortel,
do not know that the Doppler Effect
is an "effect" unique to "reference frames"
OTHER than the SOURCE "reference frame".

  Oh, poor Potter... The Doppler Effect IS observer dependent!
  As is relativity!

Oh, poor Sammy...
The point was that you can' change the frequency of an oscillator
by running at it.

   Train whistles too.
   Light bulbs too.


I hate to be the one to tell you this Sammy,
but you don't change the output of a train whistle
nor the output of a light,
by running at it.

What you sense (Measure)
is a function of your environment.

For example,
if you close your eyes,
this does not cause the light to turn off.

You are an instrument Sammy,
and what you measure (Sense)
is affected by both the source and your environment.

You have to factor out your environment
in order to come up with some idea
of what is being emitted from a source.
