The question is wether we could differentiate the two procedures: a) Information sent by an transmitter/emitter and b) Information received by a receiver.
If these procedures could be distinctive, then how we could exclude the possibility that information reaches receiver simultaneously with its emission, and not that the time elapsed (according to receiver) is due to receiver's (in)ability to encode it?
Is there a possibility that information-transfer consists of two mechanisms: one simultaneous and the other with light's speed? Obviously, the later is the time-related one.
