so the bottom line for me is this. In my everyday life I experience the world as being flat. I can see ships in the distant horizon with the use of a telescope down to the waterline when they should have long disappeared over the horizon. In my work as a mining engineer, I never make any allowance for the putative curvature of the earth. To my knowledge, there is not a single real world application of geodetics. Any bridge, canal, railroad or tunnel constructed assumed that the earth is flat and this continues to be the case today. I constantly request a 3D model of the putative sea level globe in its entirety and I am simply unable to shake one loose.

This thread commenced with the claim that a CGI rendering proved that a photograph purportedly of a man on the moon proves that the photo is genuine. Gulliver has commented that I have not provided "proof" that key documents have gone missing. On both of these last points, I would suggest that I have had a COMPREHENSIVE vindication of my views.
