See my signature, but essentially: It's Zetetically/Empirically obvious that the Earth is flat, so anything showing otherwise is obviously fake.
At this point, it is logically impossible to argue with that (https://wiki.tfes.org/Place_of_the_Conspiracy_in_FET).
Given that, the FET is basically a religion.
I don't know - I'm willing to argue against it.
P1) If personally unverifiable evidence contradicts an
obvious truth then the evidence is fabricated
P2) The Flat Earth is an obvious truth
P3) There is personally unverifiable evidence that
contradicts the FET

C1) The unverifiable evidence that contradicts the FET
is fabricated evidence
P4) If there is large amounts of fabricated evidence then
there must be a conspiracy to fabricate it
P5) There is a large amount of fabricated evidence (see C1)

C2) There must be a conspiracy to fabricate it.Though proposition 3 is a truism, propositions 1 and 2 require unsubstantiated and unverifiable leaps in logic, of necessity negating conclusion 1.
Propositions 4 and 5 again both require unsubstantiated and unverifiable leaps in logic, thereby negating conclusion 2.
Proposition 4 is nearly a truism, but it still requires that the evidence of which it speaks be fabricated, which is unverifiable. The conclusion that there
must be a conspiracy is also unverifiable. Its being unverifiable automatically negates proposition 5.
I like the style with which it is written, though. It could be the poster child for FE literature.
