Einsteinians at UCLA use specific verbiage in order to camouflage the
fact that, even according to Maxwell's theory of light, the speed of
light is VARIABLE - it depends on the speed of the OBSERVER relative
to the aether:

http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/relatvty.htm
Ned Wright: "But 200 years after Newton the theory of electromagnetism
was developed into Maxwell's equations. These equations describe waves
with a speed of 1/sqrt(epsilon_o*mu_o), where epsilon_o is the
constant describing the strength of the electrostatic force in a
vacuum, and mu_o is the constant describing the strength of the
magnetic interaction in a vacuum. This is an absolute velocity -- it
is not relative to anything. The value of the velocity was very close
to the measured speed of light, and when Hertz generated
electromagnetic waves (microwaves) in his laboratory and showed that
they could be reflected and refracted just like light, it became clear
that light was just an example of electromagnetic radiation. Einstein
tried to fit the idea of an absolute speed of light into Newtonian
mechanics. He found that the transformation from one reference frame
to another had to affect the time -- the idea of sliding a deck of
cards had to be abandoned. This led to the theory of special
relativity. In special relativity, the velocity of light is special.
Anything moving at the speed of light in one reference frame will move
at the speed of light in all unaccelerated reference frames."
