All religion involves selling a nonexistant product to gullible fools. Einstein cleverly exploited this principle with his second postulate.

I do which you learn a little Astronomy. I am in fact a student of the
subject. How can you ever see double stars? If light was ballistic
light from one stars would arrive months, or even years before that of
the other.

There is too much mythology in this (and in all other "confirmations"
of Einstein's theory), so much that a normal human mind is virtually
unable to reach the truth. The moment you discover that no solar
eclipse has ever been and will never be able to provide relevant
information, either in favor or agaist the theory, you are taught that
the Sirius B experiment (Eddington, Evans) did give the necessary
confirmation after all. Then you may discover that the Sirius B
experiment was also a fraud but the number of "non-fraudulent" ad hoc
experiments gloriously confirming Einstein's theory remains so great
that it would only be reasonable for you to start singing "Divine
Einstein" and apply for a job in some of Einsteiniana's numerous
choirs.

The double star mystery involves similar problems, as you can see from
a text written by someone who is obviously an Einsteinian but rather
clever:

Note that the author, who elsewhere describes the variability of the
speed of light due to gravitation quite well, here does not even
mention this important factor. Einsteinians are Einsteinians even when
they are clever.
