>defined in terms of the number of hyperfine transitions of a caesium-133 atomred herring. acknowledgement of the red herring. In order to get this number, the speed of light would already have to exist, objectively, as in it's measured to be so many meters per second. This is true whether it's measured atoms, quarks, or however hyperfine you want to get.
actual reply: if the speed of light were actually measured to be that fast, then ok, but that caesium-133 shit is definitely just a presupposition of the speed of light. So what measurement is it actually based on, because presupposing and then calculating by some atom is not a measurement by any stretch.
