You're still running with shouting "Liar, liar, liar!" till you're hoarse, eh?
Fair enough.
Ultimately the only person who knows my intentions is me. I have not tried to deceive anyone ergo I have not lied. I've already conceded that it was sloppy to include a quote out of context from a satirist BUT that quote does align with the quote from your FAQ so I don't think that requires a big mea culpa.
Looking back, I do agree that this statement
the FE mentality seems to be "the horizon looks flat, ergo the earth is flat"
Is an over-statement. Although I've seen that sort of thing a million times from FE people I agree it does not represent the totality of FE thinking. But "the world looks flat" is literally an example of what your FAQ states is an example of the "simplest" evidence for a flat earth. You say:
There are many ways in which you can use your senses to observe that the Earth is flat.
Are there? OK. Why then does your FAQ, when talking about using your senses, list things 3 which are not evidence of a flat earth?
"The world looks flat" - This is not evidence for any particular shape of the earth so long as the earth is of sufficient size.
"The bottoms of clouds are flat" - I suspect this one isn't even true and have no idea how this would have any bearing on what shape the earth is.
"The movement of the sun" - What is that evidence for with regards to the shape of the earth? At best it's evidence of a static earth and a moving sun, but the way the sun moves you can't tell if it's the sun or the earth moving, they would look identical so it's not evidence of that either.
And literally the next sentence is:
these are all examples of your senses telling you that we do not live on a spherical heliocentric world.
to which my response is. No they aren't. And then it says:
This is using what's called an empirical approach, or an approach that relies on information from your senses.
That does imply an over-reliance on your senses to determine things which was and remains my exact point.
You cannot perceive horizon dip, you can measure it. The entire page about horizon dip is just stating that the horizon stays at eye level and provides no evidence, it just states it as fact. The closest it comes to providing any evidence is this quote:
"The chief peculiarity of the view from a balloon at a considerable elevation was the altitude of the horizon, which remained practically on a level with the eye at an elevation of two miles
Which is hardly a controlled experiment, it doesn't claim any measurements were taken and I've highlighted the word which is the slight weakness in the argument. No actual experiments are outlined and the only one suggested is looking at a simulated 3D game.
So. While I concede that "The world looks flat ergo it is flat" is not the totality of FE thought I'd suggest it is part of the evidence often used and shouldn't be for the reasons I've outlined.
