That's a good article in the OP. If there are contradicting observations to the sinking ship effect it is the duty of that scientist to get to the bottom of it, not to ignore it and continue repeating the dogma.

Excellent point - this has always bothered me.

I think what comes across most in this article is the fact that scientists deliberately went out to write an article called "How to Debate a Flat Earther" and they ended up providing ZERO fodder for doing so. The author of the Space.com article came out looking foolish - even without the deconstruction provided by the critique.

Is this lethargy an example of science taking "facts" for granted?

Agreed - keeping an open yet questioning mind is important. Many things believe we can't empirically prove.

Great information thanks for the reply. When you say "shift" to a skeptical perspective - can you elaborate?

Interesting article that dissects a lame attempt by the mainstream media (Space.com in this case) to discredit F-E arguments and researchers.

Long time lurker on these forums and thought the team would get a kick out of it.
