Other experiments, and the elaboration of special relativity in general 
relativity, with its extended and verified predictions, give confidence 
the the speed of light really is constant, regardless of whether MMX 
showed that.

So even if it were demonstrated that the null result in MMX has an 
overstated significance, it's history.

I doubt anyone's going to be motivated to do a time of flight experiment 
along the lines you suggested. There would be no point.
