I agree that the statement you listed makes no sense. The nucleus obviously DOES offer resistance. In fact it's impossible to offer no resistance, seeing as light slows down in presence of other forces (like inside an atom, even when it is not absorbed, ala prisms).
But your criticism that speaking of the speed of transition as a speed is ridiculous is unfounded. Obviously the transition must be going SOME speed, and it can't be the speed of light (because even light doesnt travel the speed of light in an atom, thats why its called "speed of light in a vaccuum", not simply the speed of light throughout everything), so it must be slower. How much slower is the only question, and we know its a constant, or else the photo-electric effect would not be consistent (and even with different materials). Frank's photo electric equation proves that the energy of the photon is coming from the collapsed transitional wavelength (and in turn the voltage), not from some magical correspondence paradox. And you may be technically right that gravity is not an energy (but a potential), but in reality the term energy is irrelevant, the more appropriate phrase would be that "gravity is information". Useable information can only travel at a finite speed (maximum being the speed of light in vacuo). Things with no useable information can travel superluminously (like expanding universes, quantum entanglement, etc). But it seems like you are picking straw man to gnaw at. In reality you know that the speed of transition must be finite, must be slower than C, and must be constant, just from a logical analysis. Peace.
