Default Profiteers and Sycophants in the Era of Postscientism

The collaborator of Einstein, Banesh Hoffmann, panegyrizes the morality
of his master exposed as the master extracts profit from the falsehood
of his principle of constancy of the speed of light:

Banesh Hoffmann, "La relativite, histoire d'une grande idee", Pour la
Science, Paris, 1999, p.169
( http://store.doverpublications.com/0486406768.html ch.6 ):

"La decouverte de la courbure des rayons lumineux entrainait un
corollaire remarquable. Pour que les rayons lumineux soient devies, il
falait que les ondes lumineuses correspondantes "tournent",
c'est-a-dire que la vitesse de propagation des ondes a la partie
superieure du faisceau soit superieure a celle des ondes a la partie
inferieure du faisceau. Einstein fut sans aucun doute trouble par cette
consequence de l'effet de la gravitation sur la vitesse de la lumiere,
MAIS IL DECIDA D'EN TIRER PROFIT. La vitesse de la lumiere jouait alors
le role de ce que l'on appelle le potentiel gravitationnel - un simple
nombre en chaque point... Cette conclusion ERRONEE, MAIS CEPENDANT
FRUCTUEUSE, permit a Einstein d'elargir sa theorie de la relativite
restreinte."

Vociferous imbecile. Put a cork in it.

You could at least have passed it through Babelfish. But it's not well
formulated, for the role of the potential is not replaced by light speed but
instead the potential affects light speed; possibly that's why he claims
that THAT conclusion is erroneous. Please elaborate on his claim.
