Default EINSTEIN'S RELATIVITY AND CRIMESTOP

http://www.amazon.com/What-Relativit.../dp/0231167261
What Is Relativity?: An Intuitive Introduction to Einstein's Ideas, and Why They Matter, Jeffrey Bennett: "As I said above, every astounding consequence of special relativity follows directly from the two absolutes. Given that the first is unsurprising and was long suspected, all the consequences of relativity in essence stem from the single surprising idea that everyone always measures the same speed of light. In other words, if this idea is correct, then all of special relativity will make perfect sense. Conversely, if it is not correct, then the entire theory will fall apart."

Einsteinians, the following discovery was published in Science:

"The speed of light is a limit, not a constant - that's what researchers in Glasgow, Scotland, say. A group of them just proved that light can be slowed down, permanently."

So, given that "light can be slowed down, permanently", is it true that "everyone always measures the same speed of light"? Einsteinians are silent. They don't even think:

"Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity."

An argument between Jeffrey Bennett (BigKidScience) and me:

Eventually Bennett found it judicious to remove the argument from YouTube.
