Thanx Hive account@derekfreeman , I suppose if there is any point to be made, u gotta ask, if people are making videos like that, from such a respectable outfit, then is it any surprise that others will pull it apart and use it as ammunition. If there is an argument to be made, then it can be made with experiment and the demonstration of facts - drama is not a prerequisite of science, and assuming people are so dumb is patronising a whole generation into stupidity.

Anyway, the title is intended to pull in anyone flaking around the edge, in either camp, to pause a minute, think about it, then engage. I personally would rather be called a shill, or a devils advocate than leaning in any direction, I don't have a dog in the race, but I do have an interest in how it all pans out. Lets face it, if you believed in a globe earth any time before the 15th century, u'd probably be laughed out of town by any number of very smart people who would tell you exactly how it all worked. Both globe and flat were credible hypotheses, and both shared credible maths and physical models.

I would defend any flat earther against a globe earther if the globe earther uses bad science to argue, and I would defend any globe earther against a flat earther if the flat earther uses bad science to argue, it has nothing to do with what I personally believe, I don't use 'water-cup' logic, I just run the numbers.

The world is a strange place, and it certainly isn't all accounted for, so we should always tread cautiously.
