John Stachel: "But this seems to be nonsense. How can it happen that the speed of light relative to an observer cannot be increased or decreased if that observer moves towards or away from a light beam? Einstein states that he wrestled with this problem over a lengthy period of time, to the point of despair."

"Seems to be nonsense" is a red herring. Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light axiom is OBVIOUS NONSENSE, but Einstein's all-powerful ideology forces scientists to believe the opposite of what they see. For instance, scientists clearly see that the frequency and the speed of the light pulses vary proportionally for the moving observer in Doppler

but believe that only the frequency varies - the speed of the pulses gloriously remains constant. Such a behaviour was explained long time ago:
Ignatius of Loyola: "We should always be prepared so as never to err to believe that what I see as white is black, if the hierarchical Church defines it thus."
George Orwell: "In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable what then?"
