Why did early experimental attempts to measure the speed of light fail?

If you want to measure the speed of something, you first have to recall that speed is (distance traveled) divided by (time to travel the distance), and then you realize that you have to measure the distance it travels and the time it takes to travel that distance. If it happens to be the speed of light, then you immediately have a serious problem. The speed of light is so great that ... -- If you pick a distance that's easy to measure, then the time is impossibly short. For example, if you pick ten miles, then you have to accurately measure 0.00005368 of one second, which is pretty tough. -- If you pick a time that's easy to measure, then the distance is ridiculously long. For example, if you pick 0.1 second, then you have to accurately measure 18,628.2 miles, which is enormously tough. Both of these methods are theoretically and technically perfect, and completely impossible to actually use for the speed of light. You have to invent whole new clever ways to measure speed.
