Somoone needs to brush up on basic reading comprehension. He used the ponit between two cities (much farther apart than 3.5 inches), he also used the sun, which is not part of his allowed observable area. If you were only allowed to observe a portion of ground 3.5 inches long, and that was it- you could not conclude the circumfrence of the Earth. Nor would you be able to conclude what the rest of the Earth's surface looks like. I am sorry, can't do it. Impossible. It is just as impossible it observe the decay rate of radio-metric elements for less than 100 years and conlude they have always been the same. Insignificant figures! It's basic stastics.
