I did actually i told some surveyors to check the ocean shore line see if it's flat for miles. They already know that the answer is it is flat they've been surveying for a while. Elevations don't curve water doesn't curve. Optically where we live is measurably flat. There are settings on surveyor equipment gps to go into a curved mode if some sortbut that is just an algorithm to spit out the same answers. It's never used

I'm pretty sure you are playing 24D chess with the smooth brains, but just in case people don't realize that: the shoreline is flat ("continental shelf") because that was the coast line about 12,000 years ago when a lot of the world's water was locked up in glaciers.

I think social shaming and appealing to authority is a weaker argument than what i have

You asked if i told someone. I told land surveyors. They did not laugh at me and they are still my friends. Glad this info please you.

Easily prove my opinion wrong with anything but circumstantial evidence. Is the earth moving? Had the poke to equator inertia difference been measured? Someone triangulated an item in the sky incorrectly.

If you can prove to me you told these "surveyors". You can't.

Prove me wrong is just a poor come back in general. An intelligent discussion requires certain levels of assumed trust. When you cannot argue your point well and always fall back on "prove me wrong" it just makes people want to quit.

Which is what i'm doing. You appear to be under the illusion i'm getting annoyed or worked up over this. Incorrect. I'm just taking part in an interesting discussion.

Made disinteresting by "prove me wrong"

If you are seriously going to expect people to do all the work and prove you right then you need to give a little back.
