When they argued in rec.aviation.military I was surprised by how much their "evidence" revealed stubborn ignorance of simple things on Earth, like parallel lines appearing to converge in the distance and a full moon
obscuring nearby stars from view.

The -2evidences-+ from flat earthers falls within the followings :
- nu hu
- Looks flat to me
- We can't know that (when talking about things that we know very well)
- It don't understand, therefore, it's false/fake.
- I can't feel the movement
- We see to much
- That's what They wan us to believe

Often a mixture of those.

I admit I was skeptical of European mayonnaise on French fries / chips / frites, but quickly accepted it.
I still don't believe in Poutine.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Galileo, I certainly do see the little lights off of
the shoulder of Jupiter but I've never seen them with my own unaided
eyes so they must be artefacts of your far-viewer's internals."

There are those who would refuse to accept the reality of a Lunar
landing even were we to transport them up there to allow them to touch
the lonely, little machines.

Then there are those who would never *understand* such ideas.

I don't see why this should be such a mystery. Our local star, Sol,
blots out just about everything else in the sky apart from Venus and
the Moon. While the Moon isn't quite so bright as Sol, she is very
much brighter than any star or planet. One would expect the moonlight
to wash out just about everything close to it in the sky, more so if
the sky is misty or cloudy as then the moonlight would get spread out
a bit more.

I've never found any argument from limited experience to be
convincing. Useful, yes. I never consider the curvature of the planet
when travelling from city to nearby city or from my house to the local
shops. I do, however, very much think about the curvature of the local topography. Hills take effort.

- We can't know that (when talking about things that we know very well)

My sister uses that one. She utterly dismisses my knowledge of things
in favour of her opinions and feelings. She likes warm woo-woo over
the cooler equations Science gives us.

I sort of pity her at times.

- It don't understand, therefore, it's false/fake.

My sister uses that one, too.

- I can't feel the movement

But "The Doctor" can so it must be real.

- We see to much
- That's what They wan us to believe

Of course it is because it is observed facts and the simplest models
conceived to explain observed facts.

Often a mixture of those.

I think you forgot "Goddidit" or "Zetans did it".

I admit I was skeptical of European mayonnaise on French fries / chips / >frites, but quickly accepted it.

Mayo is a slow, cumulative poison, sort of like lead but tasting far
more vile. It is also a rather rapid emetic creating colourful
projectile outflows.

There will be carrots. I never eat carrots but if I accidentally
ingest mayo there will be carrots. Over a large area.

I still don't believe in Poutine.

For years after we got one, I really didn't believe in colour TV.
Then I learned how they work. Now I don't have to believe, I *know*.

However, I know a lot about how aeroplanes work and I'm still rather
skeptical when a bloody great *building* roars over me at a hundred
metres or less. I'm even a little skeptical about birds. Sure, flying
by waving your fingers is just swimming in a thinner fluid but birds
look more like magic than Physics. Aeroplanes look like unsupported
mountains of metal just waiting to experience unplanned lithospheric intersections as soon as Physics looks their way and notices how
idiotic their positions are.

Aeroplanes worry me. :)

Strangely, rockets do not.

I have, maybe it was the cheese. I live in a somewhat Francophone area, the result of immigration from Quebec for jobs. Not that the Quebecois patois is actual French, like Dutch and Creole I first have to translate it to the
major nation language, then to English.
