Judging from Chapter 22 in Einstein's "Relativity", if Eddington has
observed deflection of light during the solar eclipse in 1919, he has
thereby proved that the speed of light "varies with position", that is,
that the theory of relativity is false.

Of course, the final
conclusions of both Eddington and Einstein are consistent with the
first principle of Postscientism: FALSITY IS TRUTH. The three
principles of Postscientism (a la George Orwell) are:

FALSITY IS TRUTH
The postulate of constancy of the speed of light is false, but the
theory of relativity is true (A. Einstein, "Relativity", Chapter 22).
Carnot's premise (heat is an indestructible substance) is false, but
its corollary (the second law of thermodynamics) is true.
Orwell's original text: "In the end the Party would announce that two
and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable
that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their
position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the
very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their
philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was
terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but
that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and
two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is
unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the
mind, and if the mind itself is controllable what then?"

OBSCURITY IS POWER
C. Truesdell: "Clausius' verbal statement of the second law makes no
sense.... All that remains is a Mosaic prohibition ; a century of
philosophers and journalists have acclaimed this commandement ; a
century of mathematicians have shuddered and averted their eyes from
the unclean...Seven times in the past thirty years have I tried to
follow the argument Clausius offers....and seven times has it blanked
and gravelled me.... I cannot explain what I cannot understand."
A. Eddington (king of sycophants): "The law that entropy always
increases, - the second law of thermodynamics - holds, I think, the
supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you
that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with
Maxwell's equations - then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations.
If it is found to be contradicted by observation - well, these
experimentalists bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found
to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope ;
there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation."
