Yes. According to Einsteiniana, "local" means "free-falling in a
gravitational field". As you can see, the term is more than irrelevant
but still it perfectly camouflages the fact that the speed of light is
VARIABLE in a gravitational field - the most dangerous fact for
Einsteiniana. If you somehow refer to this variability, then Tom
Roberts helped by a zombie - often Dirk Moortel - immediately
introduces a red herring, something like this: "Yes the speed of light
is not constant GLOBALLY but it is constant LOCALLY and you don't
understand the difference between GLOBALLY an LOCALLY do you." And
since normal people see no semantic relation between "locally" and
"free-falling in a gravitational field", they remain frustrated and
Tom Roberts and zombie Dirk Moortel win.
