The natural constants and reality
The speed of light is one of the natural constants, and it's a very interesting thing because in real life the speed of light is not stable. Gravity and medium are causing the changes to that thing, and this thing might have meaning in the extremely large scale of distances.
When we are talking about the mean of the changes in the speed of light, those changes would not have meant even in the scale of the galaxy. But when we are metering some really far distances, what are in scale thousands of trillions of light years, those changes in the speed of light have influence in the metering and results of calculations.
But when we are thinking about the speed of light as the natural constant, that thing is a really important thing in everyday life. The laser-based rangefinders are very simple to use in the big distances, and the technology, what is used in those systems bases the knowledge of the speed of light. Or actually, most of those systems use the trigonometrical method.
There are two lasers, which are pointing the target, and when the points are connecting in the center of the cross, the system calculates the height of the triangle by using normal trigonometric functions. By using small size computers the system can calculate the distance, even the base of the triangle is the only couple of centimeters. The thing what makes this thing ultimate tool is the computer, which can handle very long decimal numbers.
The computer must know the distance of the prisms, what are aiming the light, and the angle of those prisms. Then it can calculate the distance. Normally nobody doesn't need this kind of information in normal life. But there is a special case, and people who might be interesting in this kind of information.
That special case is the military security organization, what mission is to protect the security of the systems. Or what would you think about the cases that the distance of the prisms of the rangefinders would set wrong in those computers, what are calculating those calculations?

If the hackers can change that number in the computer programs, what are used in that system, the results can be something, what we don't want to see. This is the problem with natural constants and theory. They are meant for common cases, and that's why they are not considering the special cases.
