Not all frames are inertial. In non-inertial frames the measured speed of light is not 299792.458 km/sec.
In General Relativity (different than Special Relativity) it becomes "local inertial frames". In the presence of gravity the speed of light can be measured in a non-local inertial frame to be any value less than or greater than 299792.458 km/sec. An observer in a strong gravitational field, near a black hole for example, measures the speed of light at your location at a zillion km/sec.

So if you want to make a comparison with "299792.458 km/sec" then you have to make it in a "local inertial frame". You never even defined your frame of reference.
That's bs, c is the same from all frames of reference.
You should have kept your mouth shut.
