The speed of light is not *defined* as c.  c is defined as the speed of light. 
The speed of light is what it is.

c is expressed in terms of the ratio of given units of distance to given units 
of time.  And so the question remains how that ratio can be established *if* 
OWLS or TWLS have never been measured.
