I'm not aware of Aristotle measuring the speed of light, or even speculating on what it meant. Einstein's equations have predicted a number of phenomena which have subsequently been verified, such as the red shift of distant galaxies, background microwave radiation, the photoelectric effect; I believe there have been seven major tests that have been applied to his theories. Now maybe in your universe the speed of light varies, but the rest of us would wonder what measuring stick you have found that would be capable of detecting this. Since your new measuring standard would itself have to be a constant, it would be a useful substitute for what the physics world already believes to be the Constant. You fail to illustrate any example of how nazis or cannibals violate the logic of their own systems. You can protest that they are "unreasonable" and "illogical" all you want, but unless you can point to how they contradict their own premises you simply don't have a case. You appear to confuse logical systems with morality. I've yet to see a logic text that has a section on morality. Perhaps you know of one.
