Peter, you have this mistaken idea that an experimental result can only 
be used to tell you something about one and only one hypothesis. That is 
not true. An experimental result can be used to test a thousand 
hypotheses, even if the hypothesis that was originally considered for 
the test ends up being falsified by the experimental result.

Here, Michelson built the experiment to test a particular hypothesis, 
which ended up being falsified by the experimental result. This does not 
make the experiment in any way a failure, and in fact the result tells 
you something about the remaining 999 hypotheses other than the original 
one considered.

This is the main point that you miss over and over and over again.
