Standing light waves if the one-way speed of light were not constant?

Aren't you contradicting yourself?

I'm being slightly sloppy - I meant you could use the same pair of probes to measure wavelength in either direction without moving them.

If all you are saying is that you need to measure the E field in two places to be able to measure wavelength, I agree. However you said in #15:

For this discussion there is no problem idealizing a wavelength/frequency measurement as happening at a single place.

Which led me to think you had something else in mind that I couldn't quite grasp.

I retracted the wavelength part of that in a later post.
