But this conflicts with your below where you said
merely that so far no one has succeeded in measuring
one-way anisotropy.


I have no idea why you think I said that. There are numerous experiments
that measure an anisotropy in the one-way speed of light. Their
measurements are all consistent with zero to within their experimental
resolution. So people HAVE succeeded in measuring the one-way
anisotropy, it's just that the result is consistent with zero. All of
these experiments have resolutions much better than the earth's orbital
speed, and many are much better than the earth's rotational speed.

What do ME and the PoR say about clock synchronization?
Nothing, really. The ME are implicitly written in terms of inertial
coordinates; the PoR does not mention clocks at all.


The ME says that light's speed through space is always
c. This is not a coordinate value.
Yes it most definitely is a coordinate value. That's what
the equations mean.


I think that you'll have a hard time convincing
folks that Maxwell predicted a null result for
the Michelson-Morley experiment. (As the story
goes, every able-minded physicist firmly and
solidly predicted a positive result.)


You are reading what I wrote inadequately. Maxwell did not predict a
null result -- he derived his equations in the context of an aether, and
in his theory they apply ONLY in inertial coordinates in which the
aether is at rest. One then applies the GALILEAN transform to a moving
frame, and that quite clearly predicts anisotropy; applied to the MMX
this implies a NON-null result.


Roberts Roberts you are getting more and more honest. Yes, originally,
Maxwell predicts that the speed of light is VARIABLE - it varies with
the speed of the observer (relative to the aether). Yet your brothers
in Einstein criminal cult are not getting honest Roberts Roberts:

http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae558.cfm
"Question: I heard that the speed of light is the same to any
observer, no matter how fast he moves, and that the faster you move,
speed of light is still the same relative to you. Is this true, and
why?
Answer: As far as we can tell, it does appear to be true that the
speed of light is the same for all observers. This fact was predicted
by Maxwell when he united the electric and magnetic forces into one.
From his equations it was possible to calculate that the resulting

electromagnetic field travels at a constant speed relative to all
observers."
