Clearly direct distances are different between 2 places on a flat earth compared with a spherical one.How about Paris to Honk Kong on a flat earth map compared with the accepted, verified spherical distance. Based on the fact that nobody disputes spherical distances.
Once again - no one travels as if the earth is flat.
If you can't demonstrate it, then you shouldn't believe it.

One example please.

Again, direct measured distances.
Distances will be different on a round earth and a flat earth. Round earth distances match reality.
If we are not speculating then we must assume

Inquisitive: Because of basic geometry, you're wrong. Please show otherwise.
Consider a square with 10cm sides. What is the distance to a point in the middle of the square?How consider those points to be on a football. What is the distance to a point equidistant to the 4 points? A bit longer.
It does not help that he is using vague concepts to try to prove a non existent point. inquisitive tends to like to make hypothetical statements and then try to use them to prove a point that he never declares.
