There is nothing wrong with taking the position that, "as far as we can tell" the speed of light is constant over time. This is the position I would take until proven otherwise.
True as far as it goes. A better way to put it might be, 'Given that ALL the available evidence, ALL measurements, and ALL imaginable repercussions and consequences indicate a constant value for c, only an utter bonehead would opt to doubt that the speed of light is a constant over time.'
