    Literally the entire point of the comment that you’re responding to is that it isn’t true for the metre, and it isn’t true for any SI units.

    Your entire claim of tautology rests on the assertion that the speed of light is defined by something external to light itself. That’s false. It remains false irrespective of which SI measurements you swap in.

    Just because the speed of light can be expressed in terms of SI units, doesn’t mean its definition depends on them. Which is the point that wolframhydroxide was making.

    This directly disproves your original assertion of tautology.
